My question is at what point do you need 2 or all 3 sets of arms? The op says he just got the Camber set and his alignment looks good to me?

The rear camber happens when you lower cars and the lower the car the worse negative camber is. With the rear camber arms this can be corrected. The toe arms are a nice option because the IS doesn't come with any adjustability and can ruin tires as well. I only have the camber arms but the the most you'd need is those two in my opinion to dial it in nicely.

Mariano is correct.

If your lowering the car and want camber within spec, and or trying to make wheels fit, you need atleast a camber arm.

The toe arm made it way easier to zero out my rear toe so my tire wear is evenly.

The thrust arm, pulled the wheel a little more in and center so i dont rub anymore where the bumper meets the quarter panel. Before, my wheel was off centered and setting more towards the back of the car.

Pretty much in my case, if i didnt have all three arms, i would still be running in the back.... im currently tackling the front now

Try spraying some wd-40 on them first to see if it'll go away temporarily... If it does, then you probably need to lube them.

does anyone know how off the camber is on fsport springs as opposed to coils? I want my tires to wear even, but the camber should be less detrimental with such a minimal drop right?

Im also interested in where it puts Camber on the fsports, because its obviously ''acceptable'' by lexus' standards. You shouldn't see any wear issue if toe is right since it's such a small drop.

The only REAL way to tell is by having a 4 wheel alignment.

Why does the back left arm towards the inside of the car look loose? It's tilted like "/". is it really that loose?
