I will have the tech use the (+-3) setting to get the rear camber within spec. I will post up the revised alignment after the install of the adjustable toe arms (next weekend).

Lexus 98-05 GS300/GS400/GS430 (2GS)

SAGE Front RCA (30mm). Comes with hardware...drops car 30mm (1.1 inches)....with coilovers, raise the car back up to preferred height, thus allowing shocks more travel....and correcting negative camber issue.

Also known as Super Stroke Kit (SS Kit) * Relieves stress on the Lower Ball Joints when 2GS is lowered * Extends life to your shocks, adds more travel distance, and prevents bottoming out (with height adjustable coilovers) * Corrects negative front camber issues (with height adjustable coilovers) * Lower your ride even more by 30mm /1.1 inches (spring/shocks or air setup)

I spent 1 year of road testing for the rear control arms and I offer two versions depending on what type of plans you have for the car. I am actually getting ready to release the second generation of both of these very soon. I am assuming that no many people are tracking their GS's (I could be wrong) so my static version is probably fine which only really means that you set the inward rod end at a fixed offset prior to installing it on the vehicle. If you need to make large adjustments, then you can make them by removing the inner mount and making adjustments, then reattaching when done.

My "Mega Arms" offer the following benefits over a bolt on adapter:

1. Factory Camber adjustment retention means you keep the stock eccentric bolt for the same stock on-vehicle adjustment.
2. Multiple sway link mounting locations for variances in ride height and sway stiffeness and progression.
3. PTFE lined inner rod end replaces the stock rubber bushing for a more positive location of the arm through travel. No more constraint on off angle travel means that the bushing will not store energy which are common causes of wheel hop in the rear.
4. With my arms there will be no need to replace the toe link, unless you have issues with the eccentric flanges on the toe link mount folding in making it nearly impossible to adjust. The Toe is the major problem with the alignment and this is the biggest cause of inner tire tread wear on the rear.
5. My arms will not add unsprung weight and in fact are 2 lbs lighter that the factory arms. This means the suspension is easier to damp, more predictable and faster responding. These things make your coilover shocks behave much better.

The arms are made from 1/8" HRPO Steel sheet and all flat hole areas are dimpled for rigidity. The price on the new version static pictured above will be around $350 uncoated. The items pictured are $450.
I would be willing to cut a deal to the first person that will verify the application on a GS for me. Please PM me.

On my new RCA design I will be replacing the lower ball joint carrier with a new serviceable ball joint and adding a hi-steer option to increase steering leverage and lock points (again for competition drifting.) I am about 40% done with the design and still working out the measurements. I could have released a simple spacer such as the sage version but I find the ride height impact unacceptable because it forces you to have an adjustable height coilover.

Here is a sneak peak and my new front RCA design.
