I installed the f-sport springs on my IS250 about 2 months ago. Shortly after the install, I went to Sears for an alignment. The tech told me that my camber was off and that I'd notice bad tire wear on the insides of both fron and rear tires. He was right and the wear on the inside of the rear tires are really bad. My tire pressure is consistenly around 35 psi so I know that underinflation isn't the problem.
I understand from reading other threads that the camber can't be adjusted. However, I also read that factory specs can still be achieved. Can anybody shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.

with f-sports, factory specs SHOULD be achieved. i have -1.8 degree camber in my rears, which puts it right at the limit for factory spec. no abnormal wear on the rear tires either.
were your springs installed correctly, and everything torqued down right?

i have s-techs; my camber is within factory specs, and i don't have any abnormal wear.
i recommend that you take your 2is to an independent alignment shop that comes highly recommended by other CL members. usually those independent alignment shops can do more for you (as far as your alignment is concerned) than these chain-store tire/alignment shops....
