Default F-Sport needed for R&D on a camber kit in Denver

I contacted SPC - Specialty Products Company to see if they are working on a camber as they have done for other Lexus models (see the Vendor Forum). I recently install the RS-R Super Down Spings and have considerable rear negative camber issues. SPC currently do not have any plans but if they receive enough volume call or email they will consider. They also need a 2013 GS350 for R&D purpose in the Denver area. Anyone live in the Denver area?

Following is the email I received. Please call or send them a email saying you are interested.

Chu, I’m sorry to report that we don’t have anything for a 2013 GS yet. We actually just released a product for the rear of the ’06-12 GS (and IS).

Unfortunately, because the ’13 GS is an all new chassis, and has rear steer and some other features, I wouldn’t expect that the current product will fit. At best, it will be a year or more before we have anything for the ’13+ cars. Our new products are often decided via call volume. If you have a forum post going, let people know that we won’t make it if nobody calls or writes us to say that it’s needed.

It also helps if someone local to the Denver area has a GS that we can use to develop a product, since new vehicles are difficult for us to obtain.

Thanks for your inquiry!

I've been bugging them since February ... my points of contact were Alan Hinkle and Jim Frens.

I've also been bugging Megen racing.

Megan Racing, Inc. just sent me an email stating they are already working on a rear camber kit and will be releasing one soon also. Anyone near City of Industry, CA?

Their number is (626) 581-0988. Give them a call also?

Thread bump!

Keep calling SPC at 1-800-525-6505 and asking them when they are going to develop an alignemnt kit for our car and to let let them know you are interested when it is released.

They really do log their calls requesting specific fitments.

I am patiently waiting for a good solution. I won't lower my car without a quality kit.
