so were these released in america yet? the japan-spec? i mean is there a difference, i've heard tein is just another alright product in some applications. i love the idea of edfc though, would definitely buy them if its a quality product. else wise i'd have to sit and hope tanabe released a better product with their remote adjustment system.

They offer camber adjustment to tune and prevent uneven tire wear.
The consequence if a much hasher ride as it's metal on metal contact.

Guys - do your homework before asking this kind of question. The IS300 and all ISx50 both have double wishbone suspension. There is no point in an adjustable plate for either end of the car. It will not change the camber. We have a coilover type suspension with double wishbones from the factory. For a camber plate to do any good at all, it needs to have a strut type suspension. We don't have this, so camber plates are useless on any IS.

This doesn't mean we couldn't use a camber adjustment, only that you can't do it with an adjustable plate at the top of the shock.
