Default Camber kit of 2IS compatible with the 3IS ?

Any idea if the camber kit of the 2IS will fit the 3IS ?

Thanks !

I very highly doubt it, as the rear suspension is a completely different style than the previous generation...

Thanks buddy , that's what my friend said as well when he peeked under the car. He says that from the looks of it, camber can be adjusted on the 3IS unlike the 2IS but he can't say for sure.

I won't be able to bring my car to the suspension shop to check until after the holidays but has anyone tried to camber ( negative ) the 3IS ?

I have the 2IS but will eventually replace with a newer model. Not happy about the lack of/limited adjustability of our cars so would definitely be interested if anyone can confirm the statement below, and with specifics about what is different about the 3IS suspension and adjustability? Thanks.

It sure is. Welcome back to 1955...never thought I'd see at setup like this again.

According to the service manual, camber is NOT ADJUSTABLE in the rear, and only the AWD has adjustable camber in the front. As RTIS250 said, the suspension design is quite different and none of the 2IS pieces will work easily with the 3IS unless you are willing to be a guinea pig and order some of the double rod end adjustable pieces from Megan or Cusco. Those will not change camber though.

Because Lexus went to a separate spring and shock instead of a coilover design, getting the aftermarket on this problem will be a lot more challenging.

Once again the challenge of reducing parts count flies in the face of those who would like to be able to make adjustments to their suspension. I am quite disappointed.

Anyone attempted to contact the usual suspect? Sux to not have correct camber or have quality and light weight parts.
