Alignment after Swift Sport springs
Pardon my ignorance but I'm a little confused on the alignment on the RCF. Can you get a full front and back alignment without the "FIGS essential lowering kit"? I've read that the rear on the RCF can't be aligned because of the way it's engineered. Meaning that the rear doesnt have alignment adjustments.

it doesn't have camber adjustments, it does have caster and toe I believe..
Camber is the top to bottom alignment so when you lower you get this look // \\ from the tires instead of being straight up and down
most RWD cars require a camber kit in the rear if you lower, otherwise you will prematurely wear the inner side of the tire because al the weight is sitting on it.

Thanks... But weird that Lexus left the camber adjustment out..

as ISFPOWER said, and as I also stated, most RWD vehicles do not have camber adjustments on the rear wheels. There are always aftermarket kits for it, but from the factory it is normal as there is no reason to adjust the camber unless you change the geometry of the suspension (i.e. lowering it).
