Hey i was wondering if I lower my GS 350 using springs, does it mess up the wheel alignment ? Do the wheels bend in a little ? What is the best and affordable way to lower my GS without sacrificing ride quality ?

of course alignment will be off, that's the nature of putting lowering springs

The lower you go, the more negative camber you will incur. More negative camber means sharper steering at the expense of accellerated wear of your inner tire treads. Also the lower you go the more you sacrifice ride quality esp. if the spring rate is stiffer than stock.

do they sell chamber correction kits ?

Nope. The negative camber is something we all have to live with. I just replaced my tires due to inner tire wear. I just had it re-aligned and bought some new tires. So far there is no other way about. Just have your alignment close as possible.

wow, there are tons of camber kits for bmw, honda and what not, nothing for the lexus?

looks like they have them for the ES due to its similarities with Toyota.

but then again, you are not gonna run into that much camber issues with springs. I was slammed on coilovers and still put almost 40000 miles on my 19" low profile tires.

You can use a set of springs like Tanabe NF210 which will lower the car but not SLAM it. You should be able to get decent tire life out of a good alignement with these springs.
