So how do you align the car without them? so the tires don't go so quickly. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

u arent lowering enough for camber to become a MAJOR issue. as far as i can tell only time the LS needs massive camber correction is when u drop it 3" + and/or use air susp.

The stock camber plates should do the trick, theyre pretty adjustable

I have the same springs and there's no need for a camber kit.

i have set of 18's with 225 and 40 rubber and one day i found out that my front driver side tire is busted on the inside. I have not dropped the car yet, still on its stock suspension and wondering why this has happen. the tires were nearly brand new and can figure out why.

Great! thanks for all the feedback. Hey Kilawombat does your springs hold up the weight of the car well?

your wheel is rubbing or ur alignment is already off.

i always get an alignment done w/a new set of tires. its like cheap insurance.

My lowest point is 20mm from the ground; I disparately need a camber kit! Could something be modified off another car?
