I recently put new tires on my 2001 Lexus is300 a month and a half ago and lowered the car three weeks ago on Koni struts, and H&R springs. The car lowered 1.4' in the rear, and 1.5' in the front. Now the problem is within the few weeks, the inside of my front tires, are completely eaten up. I had the car aligned the day after the new tires, and the car re-aligned the day after I lowered it. Now within the past few weeks the front inside of the tires are completely worn(needing new ones). I talked to the alignment guy and he said he can't go any further, because it is maxed out, so my question is, do I need a front and rear camber kit, to allow for more room on alignment? The car is just for daily street use. I'm trying to save my tires, but keeping the lowered look. Any advice would help. And if anyone has experience, would the front SPC ball joints, and rear arm kit from SPC work? Here's a pic of my last alignment right after being lowered. Is there any red flags? Thanks for any help!

i wouldnt think that lowering it just 1.5" in the front would max out the stock adjustment settings.

insides of tires wearing is USUALLY toe mis alignment and SOMETIMES camber. but based on your stats sheet, it doesnt look like either of those would be the culprit....

definitely peculiar

If you look at the "ACTUAL" camber on the front right it is -0,7 too much and -0,1 too much at the left.. Cross camber is also -0,1 too much.. It is not BIG numbers, but it might be able to wear your tires faster..

The bushing on your Lower Control Arm #2s are gone. Replace both arms and tada.

Kinda found out that's the culprit. So if I purchased new lower control arms, will they come with new bushings attatched already? Or should I just replace the bushings themselves, not the control arms? Thanks.

The control arms does have the bushings.. I have replaced the whole arms on mine, but you can choose just to buy the bushings.. It is a lot cheaper I Just found out after I got mine changed...
