Default New SPC/Eibach 2IS Front Camber Kit???

Saw this on the UK lexus forum:
http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/for...howtopic=59754


Has anyone seen these before? I just registered an acct on the site so it wont let me post yet until they approve it.
Does anyone know the part number for this 2is front camber adjuster?
Is this just the is300 kit?

------
update: they work.

Looks legit, but don't understand how it works. It doesn't look like it'll hold the weight.

They're sliding upper ball joints, had some on my Acura CL.
They work pretty well, but you need inform an alignment person to adjust it after the install (they will over look it).

Has anyone been able to find more info on this?

I've searched Eibach, SPC, and Ingalls, with no luck.

Be aware that once you press out your original ball joints from the upper control arm... and if you can't use the SPC parts... you're going to need to most likely replace the whole upper control arm... not sure if the original upper ball joints are available separately. Upper control arms are approx. $290.00 a side.

well, the uk forum guy confirmed the part number to be the same as the is300 ball joints. Gonna take my baby to musicbox in a bit to see what tommy thinks.
Am I really the first person here to try this??
