Anything like this won't change camber at all on an IS.

My friend couldn't tell the diff from stock and the coil (set on softest) w my 19's. and if you get coils GET CORNER BALANCING!

Corner balanceing is a tedious task of raising and / or lowering the coilovers in very small amounts to even out weight distribution. A perfect corner balance will have the front left weight + rear right weight = front right weight + rear left weight. It is kind of like shimming up the legs of a kitchen table so that all the legs are firmly on the floor.
