Default SPC Rear Camber Arms

Has anyone installed spc rear camber arms on their car? I am looking into some for my 2021 is350 F sport, I already have figs lca bushing for the front and that helped a lot. My rear tires have a lot less tread than my fronts and these camber arms seem to be the trick. I am also wondering what is the best alignment specs for the is350s? I just go to the shop and let them do their thing, is that the best thing to do or should I ask for anything special? Thank you for your time

Hey, I had a shop to install them for me, my goal and only purpose was to put some camber to rear wheels (-3.0 degrees) because I didn’t measure correctly and my aftermarket wheels were rubbing a lot (19x9.5, +25mm, 275/35/R19 tires) and putting camber fixed that issue.
Forgot to mention my car is lowered on BC Coilovers and I also have front bushing replaced (went with RCF ones because of the better price).

Sorry that it wasn’t helpful, cause i’m not sure how it will affect stock height and tire wear - you might have to go to some reputable suspension alignment shop for more advice.

Thank you I appreciate it, any response is always helpful! If you don’t mind me asking how much did the install cost you?

I’m going to assume the rear suspension on your vehicle is factory stock and you are not on Coilovers or drop height springs. Tell the alignment shop you want the rear camber to go positive 1* from stock.

I don’t but the alignment shop has access to the factory alignment specifications and know that by adjusting the rear camber 1 degree positive from original spec your tire will not lean on the inside edge of the tire and instead the entire face of the tire will make contact with the road. You can ask for 1/2 a degree positive camber if you want to experiment. You can always go back and ask for another 1/4 degree positive camber or another 1/2 degree positive until you find perfect wear on the tire.
Alignment shops will know what to do if you explain that you are looking to add positive camber to the rear alignment to minimize or eliminate excessive inner edge rear tire wear.
