Hi I am ready to buy a camber kit for my 2011 is250 AWD. I am having trouble choosing the right one. There are just so many, like front upper and lower control arms, rear upper and lower control arms, and than front ball joint. Do I have to get everything? Thank you!

I'm not going anything super crazy I just want to be able to adjust my camber easily. But If I don't have to buy both uppers and lowers for the front and rear I rather not. I'm just confused on if I should just buy uppers or just lowers and what is the difference between the two.

Hey, I also have an awd. You are limited to ball joints for the front and in the rear: any rwd/awd camber parts will do as they are setup the same in the back.
I went with rear lower control arms from Figs. Mike is a suspension expert and is a really nice guy to deal with, so I encourage you to talk to him.

As for the front, I purchased the SPC balljoints, but ended up selling them, because like you, I am not lowering that much anyways. I kept my Figs part because its a unique, one of a kind piece![Wink](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
PM me if you have any awd lowering questions!

It really just depends on your wheel AND tire fitment, and ride height
If you want to go slammed with not so aggressive wheels then going without a camber kit might be up your alley. Unless you have $$ to throw around and want to properly fit aggressive wheels and ride low static then I'd suggest the front upper camber kits because thats whats going to give you the most trouble. The back wheels have much more room to work with in comparison to natural camber.
Ofcourse this is all depending on my first sentence.

Part Number for the FRONT UPPER CONTROL ARMS is the Exact Same for AWD & RWD it's Actually the Rear Upper Control Arm that is Slightly Different......Look Up the Part Number and See for Yourself....
