Default alignment, camber and toe adjustment needed.

couldn't get my new set up wheels clear rear fenders, the more - camber, the more toe out it is. i already maxed out toe in adjustable kit but still. any shop in 626 can do this? called wheels house but they would charge upfront whether they can make it work or not.
i want a shop that can do the job before i pay lol.

everyone's going to charge you for putting it up on the rack and getting it set up....and you're going to rape your tires running max toe.

if you've maxed our the toe adjustment on your aftermarket toe arms then thats pretty much it lol... an alignment shop will just write on the paper that its already maxed out so they cant adjust it further.

what car are we talkin about n any pics?

damn thats aggresive ... nice.


Not to thread jack but I have a set of rear adjustable upper camber arms for my is350 that just came in the mail. In other words according to this thread if I go with a somewhat aggresive camber my TOE will be out of whack?

Now that I have some experts all in the same thread, being as low as I am now, are there any suspension components that might be compromised and I should perhaps inspect every so often? thanks guys and good luck to you OP!!

everything is compromised if youre driving outside the OE spec so everything has accelerated wear.. balljoints and bushings specifically. But whats the fun of running stock anyways

but yes usually when adjusting one something has to give. i.e. when adjust say ride height your camber goes negative and your usually get toe in as well.

im not sure how far ISx50's suspension parts can go out to but for the 2GS guys we have to buy aftermarket rear toe arms to compensate for the lack of toe adjustment when ridding slammed.

They can roll fenders, do alignment etc. I took my IS F there to have an alignment done 2 weeks ago and install SPC front camber ball joints along with FIGS rear arms. Excellent work and these guys to a lot of track spec alignments for the S2K, Evo & STI guys.

If you converted to a true coilover setup, you can replace the rear arm(that has the spring bucket for the OEM springs) with the Battle Version toe arm to get extra toe adjustability. That arm coupled with the SPC cam bolts should yield you quite a bit of range for toe adjustment
