im planning on lowering my IS and of course ill need camber kit, but not sure witch one is a good camber i found the SPC cambers but not sure if they are any good...

 

Yeah. I think spc is pretty good. I got Megan before. But spc has better quality

 

thanks alot man

 

OP... Are you planning on slamming the car? If so I would not recommend the spc camber call joints. Reason why is because the spc ball joint will bottom out onto the upper shock tower whenever you hit or go over imperfections in the road. I go trough this everyday as I have them installed on my car.

 

^But you've got you admit you're FAIR lower than most folks out there! LOL

Anyhow, just because you're lowered doesn't mean you automatically NEED a camber kit. Toe will kill tires ALOT quicker than camber. How low are you planning to be? Are you on springs or coilovers? What size wheels?

 

Just threw some 20s on this morning and I can already tell I'm gonna hate the car. Rougher ride and rotational mass is a lot heavier compared to my 18" volk gramlights lol

 

First get the Figs Engineering poly. bushings for the front #2 rear lower control arm. The factory front bushings are liquid filled and cause a lot of outward deflection during braking and other roadway conditions and cause a major inner tread wear. They (Figs) also offer an adjustable (+/- 0.5 degrees) upper control arm camber busking kit (won't interfere with the shock tower).. When you get aligned set everything (front and rear) as close to 0.0 degrees as you can.

 

im doin coils, im not goin that low i just want the fender to touch the tire and im kipping my stock rims 18"

 

Then the best bet for tire wear reduction would be the #2 lower control arm polyurethane bushing to reduce the "toe out" deflection during braking etc. and 0.0 degs. of toe front and rear.I tried 20" Vossens (stock suspension) and did not like the 20's at all, tire wear was horrendous. Figs has posts showing the difference between the stock "liquid filled bushing" and the poly. bushing, quite a remarkable video.

 

^^^^^^^^^^THIS

unless you plan on slamming out and aggressive wheel setup a camber kit isnt really priority. natural camber alone you should be fine

 

Lexus could have solved this problem by making a car where you could actually adjust the camber +/- 2 deg.s form the factory instead of having the camber staked and non-adjustable. They knew full well that Lexus owners were heavy into aftermarket suspensions and tires which needed adjustments, but, "oh no" they chose to leave us all scrambling for answers.

 

well, bringing this thread back, just purchased a set of CCW LM5 18x10.5 +3 front and 18x11.5 -7 and looking to put them on my 2IS, the guy whom i purchased the wheels from is advising me to purchase some Front and Rear camber kit, i already have Rear Toe, i just wanted to get clarification if i am needing those camber parts before i go purchasing them. they are also helping me as far as fender modifications.

 

Good luck even with the camber ball joint up front you gonna need hella work to fit the width and offset. Same goes with the rear even with a camber kit you need to widen your rear 1/4 fenders. Your probly need toe,camber,and lower arm.

 

Post pics if you get them to fit. That front is wide.

 

i will definately keep you guys posted, maybe on a new thread somewhere, should be completed this weekend
