Went to pepboys today to get a wheel alignment. I have coilovers but my car is not that low and does not have much tire wear nor camber but i wnated to align it anyways. Well the issue was that they only did the front because according to them the Lexus IS350 does not have a way to align it in the rear he said that at the dealer they replace a screw in the back and this made no sense, but i just want to know how other members have done a full alignment or is it something that can only done at the dealer?

The rear you can only adjust toe. The front you can adjust toe, caster you can adjust a little by swapping out the caster bushing/brackets.

I had about 5 alignment done by them on my previous 2 Is300s, but this was the first time on my IS350

Find an alignment ship which specializes in frame and suspension systems!

May want to check if the shops or techs are ASE certified too.

You should take your car to a shop that specializes in lowered cars such as rim or performance shops. Normal places like tire kingdom, pep boys, mieneke, etc refuse to touch my car

1. camber can not be corrected from the factory.
2. just because any ol' shop w/ an alignment rack can handle alignments, doesn't mean you should let any ol' shop handle alignments...

A performance suspension shop should be able to get you taken care of.

This is some nice information. I know where I need to go for a wheel alignment

I'd find a shop that is reputable and deals with performance/stance/track or what have you, not any shop can align our cars properly. Found a shop down here in Atl that hooked it up after a ton of local research
