I'm a little disappointed at some of the unflattering comments. A lot of work has been put into this car and it looks exactly the way the owner wants it to look. That's good enough for me and I appreciate posting pictures of it.

Those wheels are gorgeous. Nice choice!

i was referring to your suspension. looks weird with cambered rear and very little camber up front. i think it will look better if you just leave it stock camber setting at the rear or do more camber up front to match.

I don't believe he had a choice but to add that negative camber to the rear...His fender would chew up those tires in a matter of weeks if he keep the stock camber spec's with those wide *** wheels in the rear.

Keep it up 93SC300

Looks good, but the car does need to lower more to tuck them in. Do you have airride? And the front fenders need to be pulled to look perfect. Keep it up!

front is not max...you mention you bought camber kit in the rear....you can buy the fronts too. next time just get the correct fitting wheels it will save you alot of headache.

Looks good. i was at Ft. Hood and this style is not common over there. I had m IS300 flushed and ppl broke necks all day..lol Props on the car/work. Maybe a little fender work or tweak on camber and you will be set.

Well go look at how much a front kit cost and lemme know if you have the cash to fork out on it. Im definately not paying thousands on some arms for some more camber. The front lower control arms are maxed out. -3 is as far as they will go. I like the aggressive wheels and im happy with it. BTW, this car doesnt give me headaches.

My plans are to pull the fronts and rears in the future. the fronts will be pulled and the whole fornt end repainted. i might be able to get 15mm pull in the rear without killing the paint on the quarters. My ideal camber is -6 in the rear and im good.

That's a really clean LS! The rear wheel's fitment is a little too aggressive for me, but I love the wheels.

Keep up the good work.

If you have air then thats good, whenever you park or going to photoshoot I say just lower it all the way do you can. Your wheels should camber in even more so you should be fine and it will look sick just sitting there. When your done parking/picture or whatever just air up and drive how you drive now.

My car is kinda like yours I only have RUCA so im at -6 camber in the rear with only like -2/3 up front doesnt look right, but as long as its driveable its fine.

When i first did my current IS, When i let the air out (when i had bags) even rolled, my fender sat on the tire with 1/2 still sticking out.

each fender was a 400 job but the were both pulled, re-rolled, cleaned up, and painted. All metal work and good sanding to avoid too muchbondo or fiberglass.

Now on full coils and you can see where the rear and front sits at for a daily driven car... not 1 issue unless I hit a good dip on the highway the tire will roll on the inside of the fender on the rear. The shop smoothed it out for when that happens. Go talk to Adrian or the guys at Deepstage on Rancier, he may be able to point you int he right direction. It's good to be patient when building and you are learning a lot as you go through your set up, so that's good thing. .
