Just try not to wince too hard when you drive over little bumps or imperfections in the road as the car will make some unpleasant noises.
hmmm so are you saying i should replace the bushings with factory bushings instead of daizen?

Who would you guys recommend for a stock suspension and wheel alignment? I am under the impression that my front tires need re-aligned, as there is a rather loud road noise coming from my front driver side tire, and my mechanic said he is pretty sure it's an alignment issue.

Is there a good chance the cambers will have to be adjusted too, as I have heard the price significantly increases if the cambers also need adjusted.

I live in Fort Worth but work in Irving, so I span the DFW quite well.

Thanks

I'll probably call JPImportz since Jason over there installed my suspension in the first place and did a good job. I lost some faith in his shop after talking to a couple of the mechanics there, though... they were pretty misinformed about a couple things.
what did they misinform you about at JPI?

I've talked to SPC. They will make the camber kit for the Is250 and Is350 if there are enough interest. You will have to get a bunch of people to call in. Here is the website

I'm way, way, WAAAY late here (I remember seeing this question a while back, but must have just completely forgotten to answer), but to answer the questions above, I was told by one guy there that there was "no way" I could go 10K miles on synthetic oil, for one. Plus, I had someone insist that I needed to change my rotors whenever I change my pads.

Not major dealbreakers or anything (which is why I still go to JP), and I know Jason tries the best he can to satisfy his customers, but it was a little disappointing to hear dealer-esque misinformation on those kinds of things from such a highly regarded shop.
