I know that there is no definite information regarding the f-sport springs and the lowering rates, but I would like to know how the camber is when the car is lowered using springs...I've read many posts with people having excessive tire wear due to the negative camber from dropping their vehicles even slightly. I am hoping that TRD took this into account when the produced springs that would sit with stock shocks, and i definitely don't want the hassle of rotating/flipping my tires every 3,000 miles to help lengthen and preserve the life of the tire. Also, can the camber be adjusted (maybe even slightly?) on the GS350 while getting a wheel alignment? anybody that has replaced their stock springs please chime in...thanks!

i think you should expect same inside wear like others. the camber on this car is NOT adjustable at all, so if you lower your car, you will have camber wear. only way is to adjust toe to compensate the inside wear
also, they have fsport shocks as well, imho that should go with the springs. if you use stock shocks with the fsport springs, you should expect faster wear on the shocks too

Yeah the only problem with the geometry of double wishbone for the 3GS and 2IS is camber. The lower you go, camber becomes more of an issue. With that, inner tire wear is increased. The F-Sport springs and shocks for Lexus are tuned with comfort and performance in mind. They are not bone jarring stiff nor are the drops so extreme you have to worry about increased tire wear or body parts rubbing.
