for how little the f-sport springs lower your 2is, you probably won't need a camber kit - that is, if there IS a camber kit on the market for our cars.

don't forget to wait for a while to let the springs settle before getting your alignment done.

Changing out the Fsport springs shouldn't require you to replace your camber. Camber kits are usually used when installing coilovers/springs due to larger change of drop/raise.

The springs should be a simple swap. Removing wheels, possibly disconnecting the strut bar and brake lines. (this enables more room to compress the springs). Although shops may work on them separately.

Some people have suggested that you drive around for few hundred miles before getting the alignment. I would also ask Lexus techs to see what their recommendations are.

With the springs being only 1 inch drop, you shouldn't have too big of problem.

You definately DO NOT need a camber kit for any drop on the IS. I have had my car slammed on my coilovers and my camber was at 1.6 degrees, which isn't bad.
You should wait a few hundred miles at least before getting an alignement to give the springs time to settle.

Forgot to add...I don't even think there is a camber kits for the 2gen IS yet.

So the simple answer to your questions would be. Just drop, drive than align.

And the reason there isn't one available is because you don't need one.
