I would say the IS250/IS350 (2IS) vs. the IS300 (1IS) is correct. Mike did mention that about the rear arms he purchased.

Right...I know you're talking about the fronts. I mention the rears because he mentioned his rears were for the 2IS so i'm assuming that the fronts are also 2IS.

Yes the rears are for the ISx50, the front is meant for IS300. The fronts bolted up as I showed but I never tested them out and I havent taken my car for alignment. The rears are a direct match since the ISx50 and 3gen GS use the same parts. The front is not a direct match FYI...but it does bolt up.

Post how it goes since my car is still in pieces.

Here is an update for everyone. I was able to get a Megan Racing Rear camber kit for our car. I purchased the same one that Passnu2 did. It was a Isx50 camber kit. I went ahead and installed it today but definately need a alignment now because the toe is off. Here are some pictures.

I'm not quite sure that only having one of the two upper control arms adjustable will help. Obviously you can answer that. Were you able to successfully adjust (either negative or positive) the camber with just one of the two arms replaced? To me, the upper arm on the right should also be replaced to properly allow the knuckle to "tip" either in or out to adjust camber. But, maybe I'm wrong. Please let us know! It'll be great if we can get away with just one of the two. Thanks
