Alignment results after lowering needed
A company that makes alignment kits has asked me how far out the alignment is out after lowering to help them determine how much adjustment range is needed.
Can those of you that had your car lowered please post up your alignment results to this thread?:

Glad to read someone is working on this.
it's always one of the pitfalls of getting into a car that doesn't have a large enthusiast/aftermarket followling.
Good luck!

Man if that's your specs after putting the Tanabes on your golden. Hope mine comes out that way. Is the alignment shop also the ones who installed your springs?

No the shop that installed my Tanabe said they couldn't do alignment on our cars because of electric steering something. And yes I'm happy that front camber was within specs at -0.9. The springs lowered the car by 1" in the front and 1.1" in the rear. Wheel gap is 3/4" in the front and 1" in the rear.
I was just concerned about the SAI reading 14.6 when the specs call for 9.7 to 11.2. Now I read that the SAI cannot be adjusted but I've seen other alignment sheets here where the SAI does fall within the specs.

I deal with SPC, I talked to the tech ppl and told him abt the issue, I am gonna measure the rear arms and compare it to the 2011 and have them ship me one arm to try it to make sure it clears and from there I will let u guys know whats up , so its gonna take me at least 2-3 weeks , by the time they ship and me try to get some measurements and fitments and alignment done on it , so I will keep u guys posted .

I did my tanabe springs last weekend on my GS 350 luxury model, we aligned it right afterwards and will do again in about 500 miles to give the springs a chance to settle, I was just off a little on two wheels and only on camber everything else was perfect. Front Right : -1.1 Front Left : -1.0, Rear Right :-2.3 Rear Left-2.0, so just barely out front and rear right side, shouldn't be a problem being that close to spec, but would still prefer camber kits to make it perfect.
