I just talked to the boys at Tunabe and asked them if a camber kit was needed for the DF210'a and they said it is "not." So I double checked my concerns and called Lexus and they said with that kind of a drop the camber would be off about 1 degree which really isn't anything to worry about. So basically my tires would have to be changed about 1000 miles earlier than if stock. I think I can live with that. 
I will be dropping my car soon with the DF210's, I cant wait, just around the corner.

With the NF's, the stock camber adjustment is sufficient to bring within spec, but BARELY! As it is I have 10,600 miles and my Advans are starting to howl, and I've been rotating them every 2,500 miles or so...
Still, well worth it.

Sorry, let me be clearer. There is no camber adjustment, but the mild drop with the NF's keeps it barely in spec.
