Well, I got my car lowered on the Eibachs about a week and a half ago, It hasn't been 2 weeks but I thought what the hey. Anyways, I got my car done at my local dealership, for you locals it was Park Place Lexus. I had them align it to the Sport Suspention 18 inch wheel specs. There is a difference in case you guys are wondering. Anyways, I got the printout from the alignment, and wow, I really didn't think the alignment was going to be that off and really couldn't tell from driving around after the drop, but boy was I wrong. The TOE on the front on both sides was 2.16 on the left and -2.18 on the right. The factory range is -0.04 to .12 on the left and -0.04 to .12 on the right. The picture of the printout is below so you guys can see.
My advice to everyone that is lowered and didn't bother getting an alignment because you think its going to be all fine, GO DO IT NOW!!

Looks like somebody bumped the steering tie-rods and knocked them out of alignment. Especially because net toe didn't change much, but each value got knocked one way by the same amount.
Did you have this professionally installed, or did you do it yourself?

I'll bet that camber change came from the toe change. Usually, as you turn a wheel, you gain some camber to get a little more grip in the corner and to offset some of the camber gain due to weight transfer.

Only on the AWD. It is not adjustable on any RWD. I'll post the applicable pages if you like, but I guarantee, there is nothing they can do to change camber on the RWD platforms.
