Default Need help from Da CAMBER GURUS.....

Ok so I want to camber my shizzz but can't find the camber kit for the front. Already found the one for the rear. Does it even need a kit for the front or do I just need to get it adjusted at the shop. Any advise will surely be appreciated.

None exists and there are no factory adjustments. You can try fitting the IS300 front kit - some have done it with success, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Only AWD models have camber adjustment. No other 2IS does including the IS-F and if there were ever a model needing camber adjustability, it's the F.

Yeah but when I asked you how you did it you said you didn't know how. Some longer screw thing. Let's see the item in question I mean. You got your Droid and take pics of everything!!

its okay, id rather not post pics. 1 off for a reason, Tucking a 9.5 with no rub upfront is a win though. Im sure once figs releases there arm people are going to go crazy aggresive with offsets. Bad for tires though...

So lets just say this never happened ahahaha...well atleast yet for most

There are lots of tricks you can do with a one-off to change camber. Most of them will result in poor suspension geometry and measured performance worse than stock. If you're just looking for cosmetics (you're concerned about stance), then it doesn't matter, but if you drive your car at the track, you'll be very disappointed at how slow the car is after the change.

Very True, but this is also true with anyother aftermarket camber kit. Shop was very careful on how they made the arm. Everything is within oem spec except for the camber of course. Caster is still the same etc. Geometry wise, I would have no clue on how to measure that, but then again, I dont plan on tracking the car with these wheels on. Maybe With some stockies, and my camber adjusted back to stock. Car feels the same as it did before I added more negative front camber.
