Latest News On Camber Kit?
Did any camber kit come out for the GS yet??? I've been waiting for awhile now, isn't someone suppose to come out with it already? My drop is eating my tires.

I think this product was stopped in its tracks due to the neverending commotion on the SC section with the bushings that are already available for the SC chassis.
Seems like when a product is needed, everyone acts like it's so desperate to get them, yet once something is available, there is a neverending line of yahoos that are there to criticize and discredit the product. This is why there are almost no products available for the IS platform from them, probably a smart move overall IMO.
I guess it all comes down to cost to produce something, and if there is any suspicion that it would not recoup those costs (at the very least), then it's obviously not worth doing. I don't think anyone throws away money on purpose
So anyways, the big ruckuss on the SC section with the Australians (who aren't even authorized to be advertising and promoting on CL!) and the shadetree mechanics (who mysteriously are the only ones with problems!) claiming that Daizen makes inferior products I think has pretty much put this product on hold (maybe indefinitely?).
Sad so sad.

Oh man ! Please say it isn't so ! Us GS guys are dying for a kit ! I will be forced now to raise the car 
.
P.S. On a side note, the maximum drop the GS can handle without going negative is only 1.5 inches correct? Someone correct me if I am wrong.

DoubleWhoosh, who is Daizen? daizensporttuning.com doesn't indicate where the parts are made, or where the company is located, or anything. I've always assumed Daizen = you, which is fine of course, I was just wondering.
Anyway, it's a shame if a flap about SC bushings is holding back a GS camber kit.

Well I hope that someone picks up the ball where daizen dropped it..I think that it's amazing that daizen would make a camber kit for an sc platform over a gs ..Not that the sc is not a great car but I tend to see more gs300-400-430 and over seas aristos aswell..Oh well hopefully somebody can come up with a kit that will work..I do have a question for the CL gurus, how much adjustment has to be available in order to have a lowered gs aligned to factory specs???

Also big help by behind the scenes people here in CA.

man i just wish someone would make it, i mean i'm 100% sure that if needed at least 20 gs owners in the 20 min. would put a deposit on a set if thats what it takes 2 get it started again.....i would...is there something reallt different about our cars that nobody can make one?
i'm amazed that nobody has even tried considering that the gs has been a popular car to mod for soo long...

Larger companies don't see the Lexus market as "worth their time"
Smaller companies might, but if there is any doubt that even that might fall through, well....you get the picture...
