It fits then. Will call tomorrow and inquire about the SPC kit. Jasgs350, would you happen to have the part number for the SPC front ball joint?

Here you go;

00+ LEXUS IS300 SPC FRONT ADJUSTABLE CAMBER KIT Part #67525

You will have to shave the upper control arm so you can adjust the camber. It's really easy. Search the forums for this kit installed. There are detailed pictures from an install on a IS250.

Im running -3.5 camber int he rear with the toe set within factory specs and I have gotten about 7-8k per side on my rear tires. I also drive my car like it is stolen and take turns hard on a regular basis. I have Vredestine tires that i have flipped and even tho they are inside outside tires there is no road noise produced by flipping them and the ride is just as good as it was right side out. just my .02 BTW I am also stretched with a 245/30 on a 10.5

I need a camber kit for the front, but have no idea if the SPC ball joint for the IS300 will fit for the AWD GS350. The ball joint has to be pressed into the upper control arm. Can anybody confirm?
I just got the 2 Megan camber n 2 Megan toe arms..will install within the next few weeks

Ran into the 2nd gen IS forum and saw this...SPC has new ball joints made for the ISx50's.. As far as I know we (3gs guys) have the same suspension as ISx50 guys. Well here is where i saw it from:

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...amber-kit.html

Here is a link of the new ball joints on the SPC site:

Here is the cheapest price for a pair of these new ball joints:

you don't rub like crazy? I still can't fix the fender liner rub no matter how much I heat and shape them. only way is to remove them but then it looks like crap and added road noise

without buying all these parts or mod the suspensions, could a good alignment shop put my gs350 back in factory specs with 1'' dropped all around? Please let me know, Thx

yes I think he may already have them in production. He is a vendor on the boards. Its not like the SPC that is posted or being talked about. Its the entire upper arm that is replaced. No adding of extra parts this way its done the right way

your still in factory spec so you only need an alignment

Figs products are top notch! I have had zero issues with my Figs Mega Arms and toe links. Also, the IS300 SPC Ball joint kit works just fine on a 3gs, haven't had an issue with it yet and my car is a daily driver.

figs really need to advertise their products here more on the 3GS forum. while i do know about them, it sometimes easy to forget about their products as they don't come to mind.

I dont think they are allowed to? pretty sure they need to stay in the vendor section.
