It makes SUCH a difference cosmetically, I just had no idea about the tire thing. It's the worst kept secret on CL.
Good luck!

Car looks fabulous and is the number one cosmetic improvement. However, if you're experience is like mine and others get ready for abnormal tire wear, which WILL get under your skin. Not sure how the shop aligned the camber "within specs" as it's NOT ADJUSTABLE. The sheer geometry change forces a camber change (as wheel goes up, camber goes negative, like this:

But I have to drool everytime I see pics of everyone's lower rides.

just had them installed so couldn't tell ya.. personally id say they would settle in a few days, driving or not.. when i had them installed on the porsche, i measured the height of the car at the top of all 4 wheel hubs directly after install and it only changed 1/8 in in the rear after about a week.. i just had them do the alignment directly after the install and its been a week now.. had the car on the highway tonight and alignment is still perfect..

Although I have taken my ’06 GS430 to Performance a couple of times for only warranty work, I originally bought the car from the good folks at Lexus of Dayton too. I tried to work out a deal with Performance on a 2007 IS350 but they would little to nothing to work with me so I bailed. I then drove across the river and had a deal worked out on a 2008 IS350 special order but never did feel right about having been forced to buy either a previously allocated car or have to wait four months for a car I actually wanted to arrive from Japan so I looked around on the web for options. Luckily, I found a 12,000 mile Matador Red Mica with Cashmere GS430 at Lexus of Dayton’s Certified (they say it is the only stand-alone pre-owned location in the country) pre-owned store. I drove the 30 minutes to see the car and their staff treated me extremely well from minute one. The GS was in perfect shape, looked like new, drove like new, had every option but radar cruise but still only cost similar money to the IS350 is was looking to buy, so I bought it. And am I ever glad I did move up to the GS, it is so much more car than the IS.
Yeah, the new Performance building will have a fitness facility, a day care center, etc. for their customers but I still won’t be rushing down to buy my next Lexus from them until they change their attitude toward their customers.

That's great! Yea, they are the only city with dual dealerships less than a mile from eachother.. Was Diane or Scott your sales rep by any chance?

This is the one issue that keeps me from getting the springs myself. Love the stance and handling, but I hate negative camber and uneven tire wear associated with it. I also dislike the stress of watching out for dips, speed bumps, steep driveways, etc...
But I have to drool everytime I see pics of everyone's lower rides.
