I need help badly. I have a 1999gs400 with eibach springs and bilstein shocks. I have the factory 17 inch wheels. I cannot get the alignment set in the back. The camber and toe are out. If I set the camber to max and get it in spec. than the toe is out. and vise versa. How have you all dealt with this issue? Is there a bushing kit? or a camber kit? Help/thanks

I finally took the car to the dealer. I was informed that due to rough handling that the device that holds the toe was damaged and needed to be replaced. It was to cost about $700. I suggested that we review previous records on my car. They found that this problem had occurred before and that the repair per the technician was not complete. They had been able to reset the alignment however he stated that they could not fix it again. So my advisor who is great upon seeing this said they would fix the problem and just charge me the cost of the alignment. Apparently, when the car bottoms out hard it can throw out the alignment bending metal and making it impossible to reset. You won't know there is a problem until your tires wear. At least this has been my experience. Having said all this let me thank Tustin Lexus, CA for their support.
