You won't benefit from a camber adjustment plate on coilovers if negative camber is what you want. Not on the ls400 thanks to the double wishbone config. You can get a few degrees out of the factory suspension (the drop will contribute to it naturally), but if you want more than that you're gonna need to invest in some ncrca's or some aftermarket (nagisa) arms which can get ridiculously expensive.

The adjustable mounts are common with McPhearson type systems. The LS's multi-link wishbone doesn't allow this type of adjustment in the shock assembly. How low are you planning to set the car at?

Ahh bummer... I'm looking to go no lower than 3 inches, somewhere between 2 and 3 to be exact. I put a LOT of miles on my LS400 daily, so I'm looking to get as close to stock camber as possible so I won't be needing to replace tyres ever so often.
At 2-3" drop the camber isn't extreme. Mine is a few ticks shy of 3" in front and the camber is -1.5. The rear at 2.25" drop is -1.25. The summer tires go 40-44K miles before replacement. That's not even letting it get to the wear bar either. Key is getting the toe settings right when aligning the car.
