Front Ball Joints and Rear Camber.
Hey guys, First off let me inform you guys that i am quite the novice when it comes to the mechanics of a car!
I Currently own a 2nd Gen GS300 and the car is 100% Stock at the time this thread is made.
I Have recently purchased my new rims. 19x10 Rear 19x9 Front.
Now i have some questions about my car.
First off, Are there any reliable brands for the front Ball joint kits?! I can't seem to find any quality brands like Megan Racing for example. or will OEM Be sufficient?
Secondly, I have been told if i am to put camber on my rear wheels i will require Lower LCAs and Toe Arms. Is this correct?
The car will be lowered on Tanabe DF210s soon.

This is correct. I would recommend you get OEM or moog for ball joints. Also, personally, I'd look at replacing your #2 castor arm with a tougher bushing to handle the angle and weight change of the new rims. Otherwise your suspension will slowly deteriorate because of your soon to be done lowering and the change in stock to aftermarket rim size. Gotta get those bushings done!

X2 to everything said. You definitely want to replace the lower ball joints and caster arm with oem. Moog is the only one i'd venture off to if you plan on going with anything other than OEM, but if you want to replace it once and never worry about it then go over to figs engineering site to order spherical bearing replacement.
Megan racing makes rear lower camber arms also.
