maybe I didn't make myself clear enough: are you guys talking about the height of the car at present because mine is pretty low on rs*r coilovers (not springs) and I don't want to ruin the stance of the car as mine is far lower than any of the major spring makers' lowest offerings. that, and the wheels would raise the top to a factory look as a necessity as they work with the camber arms to reduce negative camber. wouldn't that in and of itself raise the car?

Hold up. Not sure what you're trying to say. The camber arm will be adjusted 1-2 degrees to get the camber back into spec.
Are you saying that the camber arm will raise the height of the car?
To install, take the wheels off, remove the factory camber arm and put the new ones on. Then bring the car to have an alignment where they can properly adjust the camber. Some cars are a bit harder to install, but the technique is pretty much the same.

I see. What are your current alignment specs? Are you slammed?
Unless you have spacers or wide rims, I don't think it will rub.
If it does rub, you'll have to decide between camber or ride height. All part of the lowering game.

Almost a 3yr old thread and it appears that lowering your car with aftermarket springs with factory shocks alone will prematurely ruin your rear tires. I had Swift springs with the factory shocks and when I inspected my rear tires the cords were showing more on the passenger side than the drivers side just like the tire pic in this thread.
Now I'm curious as to how many others had experience the same type of uneven wear on the passenger rear vs the drivers side rear and what is causing one side to wear more than the other?

Glad there is a thread on this. I'm about to install Downs in my IS350 AWD F Sport. Suspension and alignment is factory at the moment. For you all that have installed these springs, have you had to get camber arms (i.e. SPC or Figs) in order to return to factory camber and overall alignment parameters?

I did not have to do anything with mine. Camber came in within factory specs albeit on the high side in the rear(-2.3) and the front was better Been 2.5 years now and no problems. Yes mine is AWD.

Going to do a follow up alignment Saturday to see how things are going and tweak the front camber a smidgen...not because I have to, but because I want to.

I have a 2015 IS350 FSport AWD and I put the RSR Downs on the front only along with a new set of 19" wheels and tires. 3 months and 8800 miles and the front inner tire is gone. I like how it sits and rides. The alignment is all in the green. I can not find any sort of adj camber kit for the front of the AWD. I have looked into adj ball joints, and the USRS bushings even. I am getting conflicting advise.
So I need some clarity, is it the camber or a toe issue on the front that is kiiling my tires? Both are on spec. (if so, where can I find the solution)
Or is it the toe issue under hard breaking and acceleration? Which may happen from time to time.
