FYI: this was briefly discussed before:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...it-for-us.html

Also, carchitect had some interesting info in this thread:

And, on my.is, one of their vendors (who IIRC is a vendor on CL as well) was looking for a test car:

Hmm..this could be great for ALL Lexus IS250/350 drivers considering even the factory ride height has inner edge wear issues.

If you really think the issue is camber, just wait 'til you take some out and it understeers even worse.

^ Having it closer within spec from a lowered car can't under steer a whole lot right?

If you're at -2.0 or more, then it's no big deal. If you're at stock spec and taking out camber, you're barking up the wrong tree.

Hmm, so what you are saying is that this won't help tire wear?

If you don't fix the toe, there's no amount of camber you can subtract to fix edge wear. Usually if you get the toe right, the uneven wear stops. If you're at -2.0 or more, taking some out will be fine for a street driven vehicle. I generally prefer -1.5 for my cars and have no issues with wear unless the toe is wrong.

Hey guys, I should have a bump steer kit pretty soon that may work for the gen2's as well. An adjustable tie rod end that will allow spacing to reduce bump steer. Bump steer can cause inner tire wear from steering under compression when you are lowered. This will allow you to dial in the correct steering tie rod angle for what ever you are lowered to. I will post up more details when things are a little closer.
This is what the taperstud space will look like. A few more peices to get together.
