Question Camber correction solutions. Front ? and Rear Mega Arms?

Hi,

I have a GS300 lowered on stance coilovers about no finger gap all around. 18x8 oem 245/40/18.

I need to get my camber corrected...

I did some searching and found Figs mega arms can fix the rear and i was not certain what to use for the fronts.

At this time, i plan to replace the ball joints as well.... since i will be needing an alignment after the replacement.

TIA!

Front RCA (SS kit). Relatively cheap and you can probably find a used set.

Do you have problems with front or rear? I got the same setup as yours, just I got BC. I dont have any camber problems yet.

Did you get any indication on how soon?

Hopefully by the end of February or so, the tax man owes me a nice chunk of change and my shopping list is growing..

on my old set.. i did... it was starting to get bald inside..

Toe for the front and rear shows green on the alignment print out.

Camber is in red and shows about -1.6 for the front and about -1.9 for the rears.

I just got some fresh tires so i do not want to see any camber wear yet.

theres also SPC UCA as well that has camber and caster adjustments.

dont forget about the JDM aftermarket arms. Theres prolly EVERY single aftermarket arm in japan thats wayyyy better than what we have here...

Green doesnt mean anything. What were the toe readings?
