none that I know of. Also many of those camber kits still dont do enough to get it back to factory settings anyway.

well you have more camber, but can always adjust toe to compensate the wear. keep in mind, toe is usually the key. all 3gs, 2is, and 4ls don't have camber adjustment

rominl's right -- have your alignment tech dial in toe using the stock eccentric bolts. you can't adjust camber on these cars

My friends Hunter Alignment rack said there were OEM upper contol arms that were adjustable and gave part numbers. I was going to look into it.

I have Ingalls camber kits on my Acura and hopefully they will make it for the LS. Those camber kits easily get car back into alignment spec, and my Ack is dropped 2 inches or more since my car has settled over the last 7 years..plenty more adjustment to go if ever needed.
