Default Camber Help Front and Rear

Hey All i am lowered on Tein S tech springs. When i bought the car the front tires were bad due to negative camber. So i replaced them. Now my rear tires are very low on the inside due to negative camber as well. Does the 2008 Lexus IS 250 come with any adjustable camber on the car from factory. If not what would be needed to fix camber issues in the front and the rear and what are the good quality companies

Megan. I dont think you need camber kits for lowering springs but if you have the money why not lol

Edit: do the alignment first

Not adjustable from factory. Megan makes read and front camber arms. SPC makes adjustable upper ball joints for the front. If you're looking for positive camber you can get it.

Toe and camber is probably off; get an alignment AFTER the new tires are installed.

ive had the car aligned before. But dont you notice the uneven wear by time the tire is already bad. Or is it when they do the alignment then you can see if the camber is off and thats when ill need to buy

Sffd103 so you need both megan rear and front camber arms along with spc upper ball joint for the front to fix the issue?

When I had my car, I was lowered so to save myself the hassle of eating tires a lot I just got the Megan Front Upper Control Arm, and Megan Rear Camber Arms to zero out the camber. If you go to the classifieds there is a set for the front for sale. And no you won't need the SPC ball joints if you get the Megan front and the other way around.

I had about 1.3-1.5 negative camber after adjustment. Before that it was around 3 degrees witch was too much for me, but yes I also needed to adjust Toe which was not a problem with the factory toe arms.

No it doesn't. Look up Megan upper A arms for your fronts.

Exclamation

^ The only issue is that the amount of adjustability on a stock setup is limited, as opposed to aftermarket parts..

Im still trying to figure out (is250 awd):

-camber arms for the front (can't find any that work with awd) or just go with spc ball joints?
-do i need toe components or will stock suspension be able to accommodate a 3" drop?
-if so, what toe parts are available for the front (awd)? I have already found some for the rear
