When dropping the IS, is negative camber a big concern? Are camber kits required? On my old car(G35 coupe), camber was a huge problem and ruined the inside of the tires. Is it the same case with the IS350?
Thanks in advance
There are NO CAMBER KITS for the ISx50. Figure out a toe that works with your alignment guy, or suffer the same fate you suffered with your Infiniti. Fashion has a cost.
I know a few people who had little or no toe or camber issues after dropping it....even at a 2" drop. They put it on the alignment rack and everything was in the green.
You shouldnt have anything to worry if your drop is anything up to 2 inches, maybe 2.5. At that level camber can be from -1.5 to -2 on all fours. I dont think this is bad. Around -4 is when I would expect to see some inside wear, though Im sure some suspension experts can correct me.
i just had mines dropped with teins 1.6 F / 1.2 R and had the car aligned and they told me that the camber cannot be fixed. although my toe was fixed within specs and improved my camber by like 1 degree or so

Watch your rear tires for inside edge wear. That's a LOT of toe in for a rear axle. If it's 3/16 on each side it's ridiculous, if it's 3/16 total, it's still huge. My Supra runs ~1/64" on each side. Total rear toe is just over 1/32" (1mm, the minimum spec). This is specifically to prevent rapid inside edge wear.

Where did you get your alignment done?? I dropped mines on the same springs you got and it doesnt seem like I need it but Im probably still gonna get it.
