Hi everyone.
I've installed new KYB struts on my LS and want to add 20's and Tanabe NF210 springs to the mix to lower it a little.

I've heard about the rear camber issues when lowering, and increased tire wear if not taken care of it.

So the question is: what else do I need to replace to avoid any issues?

Thank you!

I had the nf210 on my previous LS. If I recalled correctly, camber effect was minimal. But if you want to get it within spec, you’ll need a camber kit.

How do you like/compare the ride to stock (with the KYBs)? I'm in need of a strut replacement myself.

You are going to need to adjust camber for the front and rear the only thing I found to adjust the camber for the front is nagisa camber arms which are special order from Japan and are $2000. The rear is easy I have Megan camber arms and they work great for adjusting camber I am lowered on coilovers so my drop was more extreme. Another thing to keep in my mind is finding rims for our cars is super difficult because they have very large calipers in the front. Good luck and be sure to post pictures up of your car when you get some mods.

Nf210 combined with youzealand brackets front and rear (additional 30mm drop) on 19s.
I can’t recall my alignment specs but it wasn’t out of spec much too have me worrried

Thanks. Kicking myself in the butt for selling it.

Good inews is that I was reunited with her this weekend. Took the family to Disneyland and my buddy ( who I sold the car to) let me borrow the car.

The stance is great, something I'm looking for, but with 20s. Even a little higher is ok for me, because of the awful roads.

The OEM were 150K miles and KYB's are new, but considering that even new OEMs will be "tighter" that worn out OEMs - I didn't see major differences.
The ride remained the same. The main concern - will they last as long as OEMs? I won't be driving more than 70K (maybe even less than 30K) on this car, so for the x2 price difference - they're good.

Front arms for 2000$ are definitely not an option

Megan rear arms - are you talking about these?

If the drop is not extreme, can I do well without replacing CA's? (just adding tanabe's)

Thanks!

yup those are the same camber arms I have on my car they work awsome and worst case scenario is you have your tires flipped 180° like I do
That's a picture of the arms and you can see on the very edge of the tire how worn out it is.
See that long rectagular bracket that is closest to the megan racing logo, that is for your headlight adjustment make sure you match were it is to the same place on the factory arms so your headlights are not all messed up and aimed weird.
