I mean they seemed to even out the toe which is good and better than most. Little concerned since your rear camber is pretty high. Keep an eye on your tire wear since you might need the rear camber arms for the rear if your showing inner tire wear.

Are your tires tucked? Just trying to get an idea how low your are.

Yup, the camber kit will allow your to get your camber into the -1.xx range. The Megan kit is good for about $180. Figs is better but I think there price is double to triple. I think for the average person not tracking the car getting the Megan kit will be more than adequate.

Nope, no one does. Only SPC from the IS300 being modified will work but camber in your front is not a huge amount and I think you will be ok. I think Figs is working on a front kit but don't quote me on that. Just keep an eye on the tire wear. If your not doing a ton of miles a day I think you will be more than fine.

Wish Lexus made these cars with adjustable camber from the factory but to keep costs down they only allow toe like most manufacturers.

cool, front is fine so i just need it for the rear. I guess that will be my next mod on the list. You see i got continental tires and they are rated for 50,000 miles i believe, wont want to damage the tire cuz they were a lil expensive
