i bought the spc camber arms yesterday and will have them installed friday. i haven't driven much on the tires that are on the car now and the rears are the ones that are visibly showing the excessive negative camber. i hope this works because i don't want to have to spend a grand every six months on tires.
let me know if you have any rubbing issues with RSR downs with stock wheels after installing the camber arms and getting an alignment! Thinking about picking up the SPC arms too

i'm not on stock wheels. i'm on 19" f-sport wheels from the previous generation IS.

Didn't you just change your suspension? and it is showing the wear already? that's crazy

it's not showing wear. rather, i'm having camber arms replaced as preventative care. by visibly showing I meant just that, that one can see the camber or the tilt of the tires. by installing the camber arms i'll fix everything (hopefully).

no, they didn't fit as i bought the spc camber arms for the 2IS. i have to now purchase the 3IS ones, but i'm a little hesitant because another member/friend of mine here was told he had to raise the car in order for the camber arms to fit and i really don't want to have to raise the car as i think it looks perfect. i have to do some more investigation before i proceed.

Looks good! I recall you wanting a conservative drop. lol
Raise it? Hmm.. was he on RSR Downs too? I am on RSR downs and experiencing camber wear.
My left rear is -1.9 and my right rear is -2.5.
Definitely looking into SPC Camber arms, but I don't think I'll have to raise my car. The rear doesn't look like it'll be a problem. But, might be if I hit big dips. Not sure. I am going to order them this week and see how it goes. I might get away with -1 to -1.5 camber to save some tire life.

Here's a picture of my left rear
no, he is on rs*r sport-i coilovers. we both have negative camber primarily at the rear of the car. you probably won't have to raise your car because well it can't be raised on springs and you're already at a higher point to begin with. my car is lowered far more than yours is and I'm running around -2.5 (camber) in the rear.
also, that's what my tires look like from behind, too. I don't want to raise the car, so I might just be buying new tires more often than someone who isn't running such negative camber.
p.s. let me know how it goes if you wind up buying and installing the spc camber arms please.

If you have symmetrical tires, you can unmount them and flip it. That would get a few more thousand miles out of your tires.
Do not attempt this if you have asymmetrical or directional tires, as it would wear out even faster.
