just looking at the suspension, is there any way a shim or some other type of basic spacer on a section of the suspension that could be utilized to just change the angle enough..it may not be adjustable, but at least get it closer without a whole re-engineering of the suspension. I know, kind of sounds bootleg when I say it that way, but sometimes a simple solution is needed and can still be safe and effective..just brainstorming..don't taze me bro lol
I think it would have to be slotted similiar to how adjustable camber kits are but the bolt need be adjusted and be able to lock in place..

Update, I just spoke with Dave at Ingalls Engineering. Very nice guy. I also sent him this thread along with my written plea in hopes we can get some traction on this. As this LS generation becomes more affordable and modders like us begin to personalize our cars, the demand will be there. Also, if there is anyone in the Denver Colorado metro area that would be willing to be a part of any testing, should Ingalls decide to move forward, please stand up and be heard now! He mentioned finding test vehicles can be a challenge sometimes. If I was still in Denver, I would be all over this and I would of also pleaded my case in person, especially since they worked with me on my 2003 Acura TL rear camber kit arms.

I also sent a note to THMotorsports, one of our CL vendors based on Mike@VossenWheels recommendation...if this pans out, it will be amazing!!

In the meantime, if we can get more people to sign up, that can only help..not hurt. If you know people who haven't signed up..please get them over here and sign up!!!

Thanks all!

I am willing to do this and let me tell you from years of trying to get other companies to make stuff for Lexus vehicles, SPC and Ingalls both told me to go away prior to me starting my own business to do just that.

I will either find a test car or buy the parts to engineer a properly adjusting solution. We already have the LS430 platform figured out, just waiting to go into production. I have to space now to purchase entire subframes to keep on hand for geometry measurement.

Bring it on guys

Wow that is great news to hear that FIGS is on board and willing to do this R&D for our cars. I'd definitely pick up a set of these if/when they became available.

COLORADO LS OWNERS!!! We need a person in or near Longmont Colorado (Denver suburb) to be nice enough to volunteer their LS460 for measurements! Nick at TH Motorsports responded and will work with SPC to see what can be done and his response was very optimistic. But without a car to measure out specs, this may not take off. Damn, if only I still lived in Denver..sigh! ATL is no quick road trip..who is down to help? We are getting close!!!

Props to FIGS also willing to get something going..perhaps we will have multiple options!
