Just had mine aligned. Lowered on Eibach. I was having uneven tire wear. Balding on inside tire so I changed the front tires and had the alignment done. Everything was within specs but the tech changed some settings hoping to balance the thread wear.

It cost $130 for 1.5hr of service. The Lexus team did a really excellent job and I'm very satisfied with the work. They aligned the toe in front and pulled in the wheels as much as they could within spec. This is great since I don't want wear out the inner part of the tires when I get my new wheels.

Sorry, the camber was not 5-10 degrees. I thought it was that much, but is actually only around 1.5 degrees.

dappy, would you recommend lexus of RH to do the alighment then? did you get your springs installed there too? I found other places that does the alignment for about half that price.

I wonder people are going to have algnment issues with the F Sport Lowering Springs for the IS.

Wouldn't Lexus do their homework and before releasing springs for the IS? Because these F-Sport Springs are good with the factory warranty. So I assume that once you install the springs, get an alignment. And then you have camber issues in the rear. Should Lexus be responsible for premature tire ware then? I would think so since this is their product and they should of done their homework before releasing these springs??

alignments don't take 1.5hrs to do. The car spends more time waiting to be worked on at the dealership than it does on the lift.

Alignments usually only take 15-20 minutes to do especially our cars since there is ONLY Toe adjustment.

As long as your toe is straight...1.5 degrees negative camber is really nothing to worry about on tire wear.
