Default What is there for aftermarket Camber correction?

I'm looking at purchasing a 2013 gs 350 f sport, and would like to drop down the car down with RS-R Superdown SUS Springs, but i would like to be able to bring my camber into spec. I assume if i drop the car down 1.6-1.8 inches the factory adjustments wont bring me back into spec for an alignment?

Is there aftermarket manufacturer that offers camber correction beyond what the factory parts can do?

You would need an alignment kit to bring it back into spec. And there are none at the moment. You can try calling SPC too?:

So I'm guessing after almost two years no company is going to bother with a camber kit for our Gen 4 cars, too bad, I thought SPC or Megan would have developed a kit by now. Guess I buy the cheapest POS tires for the rear from now on because of the wear.

After 6,000 miles on my Vredestein Ultrac Vortis I have 7/32" up front and 9/32" rear. And the inner tire wear looks great.

What springs are you on and what do you set your tire pressure to?

RSR super DS, 38-40 psi all 4 corners, aligned (toe corrected) every 3K miles. I bought lifetime from Firestone for $159. Just really good tires for $3-400 cheaper per set of Michelin PSS's.

You shouldn't ever have to do the alignment again unless you're curbing wheels or changing ride height. Did they notice it being out of alignment after the initial alignment? Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately that is not true when adding these springs. The toe was out the second time around as well. If you search the forum, I have posted my first and second alignment results.
