Bought a 2010 IS 350 last week. Traded in my 08 IS 250. (Don't know how I ever drove a 250 now that I have the 350) Very happy with the upgrade to say the least!! I noticed when I bought the car it needed an alignment due to f-sport springs that were installed on the car. I had Lexus do an alignment on it today and my Camber is out -1.5 on both front wheels. I'm just running stock 18's (225/40/18 fronts) on the car and as mentioned it's lowered on f sport springs.. I've seen some decent reviews on SPC ball joints which correct anything from +/- 1.5 which would solve my issue. Or there's the Megan upper control arms that allow for more negative camber for aggressive driving. Being that my setup isn't overly aggressive would the SPC ball joints be suitable to bring that Camber back into spec? Thanks in advance for any help.

Based off of what I know, have seen and have purchased, the ball joints are good for correction.

Considering my setup isn't that aggressive.. You think they (SPC) would be alright or should I step it up to the Megan upper control arms?!

if its not aggressive then the ball joints are what you're looking for. People tend to use the spc ball joints for correction, as opposed to stance or major camber adjustment. A non-aggressive setup just needs a bit of camber adjustment for alignment purposes... i.e. correcting negative camber from lowering (making it more positive).

Are SPC ball joints as good quality/durable as OEM?

^Actually, the rubber on the SPC boots are above OE-quality in my opinion. All of the components that make up the SPC units are top-notch.

Had a set of SPC Ball joints installed a couple days ago.. Camber is back within spec and it drives great!

I recently installed the SPC front upper ball joints in my GS 350 to correct the camber. Worked great for camber, but makes a unbearable squeaking noise when temperature outside is 75 degrees or higher. Does anyone have any suggestions?
