Angry Front camber adjustment

OK i have the eibach pro kit on my 93 lex, with the kyb gr2 struts all around. now, there is no possible way to fix the camber? i cant even look it at its so off. I mean if this is such a problem, why doesnt somebody make a kit for the front? the back isnt a problem and there is a kit for that... Or is there a aftermarket camber that i could just replace? ahhh so frustrating lol.

Also, anybody knows how much would be a nice paint job? I dont understand why do you buy a lexus if youre not gonna take care of it? i think the guy that had the car before me had sex on the hood and his belt buckle scratched the crap out of it, anyways i have to repaint it but i dont want to go to mako or whatever. i wanna spend about 1000-1200 bucks? and repaint it same color. thanks for any input.

I also had a problem with my front camber (and still do). You'll need to take it to a REALLY good alignment shop and they will do something funky with the toe to try to compensate. It doesn't work completely and the insides of your front tires will wear anyway. If you have the same tire size all the way around, you can rotate them fairly frequently and protect them as much as possible. That way they should last 18 months or so.

I had actually called Eibach to ask about the problem and they had me read my alignment print out. It said that the front was off 0.3 degrees. Eibachs response was "well, thats within factory specs...Have a nice day." .....click.

I like their product and am happy with the springs, but that is complete BS!!

Anyway, welcome and good luck.

Default CAMBER

our cars have a stock camber adjustments fr front and rear h'ever, you can only adjust a litttle maybe 2 degrees neg nor positive. i had complete alignment and camber adjustments when i got my rims.

just tell the guy to adjust yr camber, (toe-in) about 2 degress.
better make sure yr tires wont rub the front/rear fenders so be careful.


hope that helps.
