How low is your car?

Fig makes some great suspension products. In back, you will probably need both camber and toe arms. I have both myself. Once you get camber in spec, your toe will be way off, and you will need adjustable links to get it back in spec. After a certain point, the OEM toe links will be too short to compensate. Since he actually had an IS300, he'll probably be able to give you better tech support than Megan.

You should definitely work on getting your toe back in spec before camber if you want to save your tires. I'm not sure how far along the project is, but Fig is also working on front upper suspension arms to add more camber adjustment/correction.

megans front upper arms are only to give you negative camber, by dropping your car that automatically gives you a negative camber. so you might want to go with the spc front camber kit and megan in the rear
