I don't think there are front Camber bolts for this car, and there is no spc ball joint either unless you're talking about the one for 1st gens which has been discussed and not a good idea long term... expensive tires but Megan coils???

There is no camber correction up front for our cars. SPC ball joints for the first gen IS has been done. As said above, some people don't like the idea. Good luck.

Not saying anything is wrong with Megans, great for the price. It's just funny that you say you have expensive tires, because a pair of expensive tires would be more than the coils, but I see you ahve 20s so "expensive" probably doesnt mean $350+ like it would on 19's. I havent seen the Hardrace arms, definitely looking into them! Just hope they're not for negative camber only, a lot of racing control arms are designed to give more negative camber, not correct it back to 0 or even positive for lowered cars, I heard there just isn't enough room under our fenders to get a ball joint far enough out to go positive.


EDIT: Just went directly to the Hardrace website and I only see the control arms listed for the 1st gen IS and only rear arms for the 2nd gen :/ maybe the link you provided is in error?
