Default Camber Correction?

Sup. I'm about to drop the 2nd gen GS and was wondering if the camber on these cars are adjustable or will I need some kind of correction kit? Be easy on me, I'm new to toyota and Lexus suspension.

Thanks,
VIp

Since your name implies that you are vip, why do you want camber correction. That totally unvip. lol..

you can adjust your camber but up to a certain point. there are no aftermarket camber correction kits for the GS and i don't think one will be created. most who drops their cars will have camber and most will have their camber plates adjusted to the max.

toe is also adjustable and caster is fixed.

corky is correct, both camber and toe are adjustable, not caster

but the adjustment on camber is pretty limited. basically when you lower the car by say more than 1" your camber will probably be maxed out

I think tire companies need to make a VIP tire. Thicker tread towards the inside for people that run neg camber

That's true that would be un-VIPlike to correct camber but this project will be a DD and I don't have the cheese to change tires every month, at least until I get bagged. Again , I'm new to Lexus mods (always worked on hondas) and was wondering what it would take. Actually, Nitto Neogens are designed for negative camber. I forgot about those. And thanks for the replies.
