  1. Don't bother with cd head cleaners, the laser optic is recessed and could not safely be touched by anything spinning by the drive motor. The only way to clean a laser is fully disassembling and carefully cleaning the optic by hand.
  2. Camber is adjustable as standard. What springs did you go for? If you want to further improve the handling I recommend fitting uprated Anti roll bars (Sway bars) they will significantly reduce body roll and improve steering feel. I got mine from Summit Racing in the USA for $315 + $150 shipping.
  3. My IS300 best was 387 miles, never gone very far with the light on though.
  4. Sounds bad, hope you get it sorted mate.
  5. Check the prices on http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/ There are also 2 variants of the H&R springs HR-29435-1 and HR-29435-3 Each are for different axle loads, I got the info from H&R direct and found my IS300 needed HR-29435-3 due to the higher axle load weight, not sure if the 200 is less weight and thats why there are 2 versions. I'm afraid I no longer have the information but I can tell you on my cars door sticker it states 1-1055Kgs 2-1055Kgs, these are the front and rear axle loads, check the sticker on your door sill. Also plenty of info in this thread on the spring rates so you can see how hard they will be. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=69420&st=0&p=734986&hl="spring"&fromsearch=1entry734986
  6. Get yourself an easy out kit, should be simple to remove with one of them.
  7. I'd avoid the Teins, I heard they can sag. The TTE springs are made by Eibach, trouble is Eibach discontinued them. The Eibachs will be the least harsh option, about 15% stiffer and only a little drop. I can highly recommend H&R, had them on for nearly a year now and they are perfect, stiffer without being over the top and making the ride bouncy, a nice 35 mm drop too.
  8. Hope the other guy is well trained, he seemed to know his stuff when I quizzed him, I had already measured my camber and tracking myself before I arrived. Really happy with my cars handling now, just need anti roll bars. Tony - hope your daughter is ok, sorry to hear that.
  9. I was there yesterday too, at about 12. Had full geometry set and balanced my wheels. Mine wasn't a million miles out so only a small improvement in handling but it should slow my tyre wear. I had way too much camber too, all corrected now.
  10. Would it be the same for the IS300 too?
  11. I believe WIM charge £114, that's what I was quoted, I'll be there this Saturday.
  12. Can you take a pic of your car? It should be sitting pretty level I would have thought, what springs do you have?
  13. Mine are on too. Perfect fit. I'm very happy.
  14. Looks good, did you use spacers? Any rubbing or clearance issues? Mine should arrive tomorrow, hoping I can get them fitted after work else I won't get a chance till maybe Tuesday.
