ive had these lying around for a while but was to busy to install them. finally got around to it yesterday.





if any one decides to get camber arms. you should note that on the upper there is a sleeve that you need to push back flush on the inside. the bolt and nut will squish it back to mate nicely.





T demands come as 2 piece. i found it easier to remove the bag (spring for non air cars) to get the top one on. the side one was alot easier to get to really only requiring the wheel to be out of the way.





i still have no idea what the line and contraption is next to the arm. but there is no way to hook it up to the new arm. i assume the japanese is300h doesnt have that.

wasnt able to reallly mess with the adjustments yesterday since we were running out of daylight. so i eyeballed the alignment and it come out close to stock. ill be adjusting a little later today.

That sensor is for Auto leveling headlight I believe but I could be wrong because I always thought we did not have auto leveling headlamps.
that is what it is for other lexus models though.

adjusted the camber to where i wanted it to sit





doing the alignment was pretty complicated with the way lexus has it setup in the rear. took a bit to get the hang of it but just needed it setup to drive to get alignment. doing an eyeball alignment with the curves the car has made it especially difficult





closeup of the tuck





render of what im thinking of doing next. aimgain front fender piece off of a toyota crown. gonna order new fenders after i get measurements of the piece so i can cut an actual vent in there.

what brand tires were you running? do you have TPMS on those wheels? low tire pressure would blow tire out like that

Falkens. but they were kinda old. i know theyve been in my garage for 2 years. i dont have tpms installed on them but pressure should have been good since i checked them the week prior.

no and yes. the sport+ mode just wont do anything anymore since i dont have the adaptive suspension piece plugged in the strut.
