i see, i hope my alignment was done by someone who knew what they were doing, i had 2 alignment done so far since last spring, one by an old guy who said my car was to LOW to get on the ramp! even though my friends g35 got on the ramp okay when his car was lower then mine. and 2nd time by this guy in his 20's who seem to not want to work that hard . I'm thinking of getting another one since i need new tires soon and my car is pulling a little to the side, hopefully the next one is more professional.

I just take mine to the dealer and tell them I want the toe settings to be neutral, regardless of the effects on the camber.

They excuse they always give for lowered cars is that they are trying to get your camber back in spec to "prevent" tire wear and there are no specific camber adjustment, so they have to comprise with some toe adjustments.

I have the same issue, I'm running pure stock, and my right front tire did look very similar.
I went to lexus dealer to check on my camber, and they said that everything is perfect (I'll post measurements in next post once I find the data sheets)

Ouch! get an alignment and also have them check your toe, since the dealer said your camber is in spec.

The alignment is perfect, (I checked it in lexus dealer) I'm thinking that my damper is dead, so when I drive the wheel is jumping too much and it is ripping off the tire.
