Thats correct. You must modify ball joints meant for an is300 to work, this involves trimming down a section of the a-arm and adding a washer to the castle nut.

The ball joints can be purchased from Circuit Motorsports , a vendor on CL.

 

The stock tires wear out pretty quick. Try a different brand tire that wears a little more conservatively.

 

The front will be fine without a camber kit. Lexus sets the toe a little aggressive from the factory so the fronts tend to wear. You at the least should get a rear camber kit if you are gonna drop more than 1.5 inches. You do not need the rear traction arms. Possible the rear toe arms from megan but you do not need the rear traction arms. I have verified this with Megan.

 

Is the figs mega arm pretty the same idea is the Megan's camber kit?

 

Similar but I think Figs is heavy duty for more track applications. Can be used on the street but its just a beefier unit. Figs really should chime in on that. I don't have any of the figs unit only going off whats on his site.

 

I've actually pm'ed Fig's last week but no answer, i guess their real busy. So the megan's would be more street friendly? I'm not looking to track my car, i just want it for the adjustment purpose's to save my tires.

 

Megan will be fine. I'm going with that option.

 

I don't what carbondtls is talking about but the front camber is really bad. I am lowerd on some springs and my front tires wear down like no other. The cost of tires isn't cheap for some 235/30/19. FRONT CAMBER IS A MUST!!!!!!! I can live with the rear camber. I need to buy the ball joint. I will but my order in asap.

 

Ok, so the Spc ball joints for front, and the megan camber and toe arms for the rear, does that sound right? I dont want to order a bunch of useless parts.

 

How bad is bad? More than -2.5? If it is, then you're slammed. Any normal street worthy drop won't exceed -2.0 degrees, and at that camber you won't wear tires if your toe is correct.

Most 2IS kill front tires because they either have a misaligned front subframe, or the toe is set to too much toe out.

 

i would use FIGS MEGA ARMS instead of Megan. Megan camber kit pushes the wheel from the top, which in fact, puts get stress on it and can break. Proven by FIGS himself.

While the MEGA ARM pulls from the bottom.

 

Ok, sorry to ask a milion questions guy's. So if should do the figs mega arm should i get the toe arm too?

 

x2 its most likely toe thats way off not the camber.

Don't know a good amount on the Figs arms so your probably right.

Depending on how low you are you may not need the toe arms since you can adjust toe with the factory setup. Just depends if your so low that the factory toe will not allow you to dial in close to OEM spec.

 

ive never heard of any1 dropped on any kind of springs and having real bad tire wear after properly adjusting toe. get an alignement at a place other than TireKingdom...

 

Figs Mega arms are engineered best. Better parts thought put into it. I have the Megan rear camber arms ($200) but I need the Figs because of my serious negative camber. The Figs rears are in the neighborhood of $475. Figs is also in the development phase of building new front A arms to correct negative camber in the front (around same price).
