Just received my FIGS rear lower control Mega arms (thanks again Mike). This should correct the negative camber nicely once tuned by the alignment shop. If i have time, I'll put them in this weekend and hopefully have a DIY write up as well. These are for a 2IS, however, I found out the rear suspension on the 2IS and 3GS is pretty much identical, so these should work.

 

good pick up. the suspensions are pretty much identical to the 2IS

 

yes the suspensions are identical I already determined this with part #'s. He was making front upper arms also. I sent Mike my OEM fronts a while back to R&D. I noticed he has this done and for sale.

Cant wait to see pics and a review.

 

How much did this run you? I wanted to get these when I had my 1gen IS but that ride is in heaven now, but i've upgraded to the 3Gen GS obviously and was trying to plan out mods/$.

 

^ I don't remember the exact price, but I want to say around $500+ with shipping. It also depends on which Mega arms you purchase. FIGS has several options and upgrades. See website or vendor for details.

I ended up getting the lower model arms. I'm just using it to correct camber and am not interested in the light weight or endlink upgrades. I am pleased with the product thus far and can tell the fabrication is top-notch. Very easy to install, hope to post pictures this weekend.

 

Installed the FIGS rear Mega arms this weekend. I'd have to say these were easy to install. Took me about an hour to install these lower control arms and very few tools. I went to get an alignment this weekend and although my rear camber is at a -2.0 (-.2 over spec), the camber cannot be pulled into spec without throwing the toe off. Its a give and take between the two. The toe is more important to have properly adjusted, therefore, I will be getting the FIGS adjustable toe bars to bring everything together. After that, I should have no unusually wear in the rear and I'm lowered about 2+ inches all around (26.5 inches from ground to middle of fender).

The quality and craftsmanship of the FIGS mega arms is great. After looking at the instructions online, it is easy to understand how these adjustable Mega arms work. Mike at FIGS is also very quick to answer questions and help out.

These Mega arms also great for people wanting to increase negative camber, however i did not utilize this feature as I was wanting to reduce negative camber.

 

post up some pics

 

Ok, here are a few shots. I took more while I was removing them, but I think its pretty self explanatory. Plus, like I mentioned before, the FIGS Engineering website has a picture tutorial, so more pics might be overkill.. Oh, and I changed suspension while I did this. Swapped the DF210's for the Megan EZ Coils (thanks to CL vendor Circuit Motorsports).

 

seems pretty simple

 

Did you remember to preload the suspension before torquing down the bolts, specifically the shock bolt?

 

From what I understand, they were already preloaded. Confirmed with Circuit... plug and play

 

Hey, I see you doing a great job with your lexus. I do have 06 GS430 and I do have a question about the left rear height leveling sensor.

I've been having a problem with height leveling control sensor since i replaced the strut. AFS light is blinking since then and tried to search it online and this is what I came up with after i conversation I had with Lexus dealership technician: He says that something going on with sensor and either the adjusting it or replacing it.
It's very pricy comparing to how it looks like.

Could you guys help me out finding the right instructions of adjusting the sensor before I waste almost $400 for a new one?

 

looks great

aalkhatem - its the position of the arm that is off. Just correct this and it will reset. I suggest to not move or mess with this unless you need to. There is a few threads if you need pics. Best place to check is the 2gen IS section.

 

nice. I had front upper control arms , camber and toe arms replaced on my G35 and it still went through tires every 9-10 months

 

No, not the spring preload. I'm talking about actual suspension compression. You need to do this to get close to static position as possible otherwise you can ruin your bushings.
