Default Camber Kit

Not sure if they started a thread on this yet. Did a search and couldn't find anything on it. I was curious if they make a camber kit for the 01-03 LS430 w/ factory air ride? If so....where I can get them and how much they would cost. Thanks for the help in advance!

It seems my tires eat up in the inside on the front tires alot faster than the rear tires.

Just curious, I have the factory air ride. So if I get an alighnment on level 7 w/ the data controller. If i move it to up or down to say 9 or 5....will that throw off my alighment if I go back to level 7? Or will the alighnment be set for level 7?

Any change in ride height is going to affect the alignment. But at least it looks "Gangsta" while those tires wear.

Yes, the alignment will remain the same as it was set at "level". When you raise or drop the car, the camber will change visually, but the camber will not change internally so it will remain the same when brought back to "level"
