Hello Everyone, Hope you're all well. This seems like a very neat forum. I stumbled here over from USA IS forums while reading through alignment threads. Sorry that my first post here is to ask for help, but now that I'm aware of this forum I'm looking forward to future contribution. Same as most, I've recently experienced the dreaded front inner tire/tyre wear, and, as a result, decided on a front-end refresh. Luckily, the rear seems to be doing well. Prior to wear I was able to get about 20k miles out of the existing tires before things quickly went south. I would appreciate alignment spec suggestions based on the following information. Vehicle: 2004 IS300 Sportcross (USDM). Second owner and we're going strong at 203K miles on the clock =). Location: Florida--mostly flat grid-style streets with about 65% highway and 35% city driving. Weather: Mostly hot lol...with two season--dry and wet =). Intentions: Spirited commute without breaking any laws or comprising the safety of anyone with/around me. Tires: New Kumho Ecsta PA51 (would meet my needs just fine) Wheels: OEM Stagger with 10mm wider cross-section. Front: 17x7 225/45 Rear: 17x7.5 235/45 Ride Height: Lowered on Tein Flez Z coilovers with a 1-finger gap between fender and tire. Parts replaced due to premature tire wear (a few other parts were also changed while at it lol) : FUCA - SerialNine Sport Version FLCA Bushing #1 - SuperPro via FIGS Caster Bushing #2 - SuperPro via FIGS Ball Joints - Mevotech (oem type) Inner and Outer Tie Rods - Mevotech (oem type) Roll Center Adjusters 17mm - FIGS Steering Rack Bushings - FIGS Solid Swaybars - Eibach Endlinks Front & Rear- FIGS Solid Endlink Relocation Brackets - FIGS Front Strut Tower Bar - Cusco Rear Strut Tower Bar - ExoticSpeed When items need replacing I try to upgrade where makes sense. Little splurges are sometimes rolled into the overall expense lol. Much thanks in advance! Best regards, Rajen

Hi, all! ​I sent a question in to the WIM team as well, but seeing as I haven't gotten an answer yet, and I feel in dire need for help, I made a forum account as well ​I live in Norway and have a Lexus IS200 SportCross from 2003 which has the following settings as of November 2015 (when it had a slight crash (not involving other than front crash absorber) and geometry was checked/adjusted just to be safe): ​​ Front: ​Caster Left: 5°54' ​Caster Right: 6​°06' Camber Left: -0°30' Camber Right: -0°42' Toe Left: 0°06' Toe Right: 0°00' Toe total: 0°06' Rear: Camber Left: -0°48' Camber Right: -1°06' Toe Left: 0°00' Toe Right: -0°09' Thrust angle: 0°05' Secondary angles: SAI Left: 9°15' SAI Right: 9°36' "Combination angle": Left: 8°45' Right: 8°54' "Displacement" Front: -0 mm Rear: 1 mm "Track width difference": 19 mm "Wheel base difference": -1 mm Ride height: FL/FR/RL/RR: 66 mm My main problem with the car is that it eats on the inside of both my front and rear tyres as well as that it shakes quite a bit (steeringwheel and what feels like the rear) between 80 and 120 km/h. Front and rear brake calipers are new as of 2014 and 2015 respectively. Same with discs and pads. Wheels were balanced today, when new rubber was put on my summer wheels. I just bought new summer tyres today and I'm hoping someone here can help me avoid more unpleasantness in the future. The car rolls on 215/45/R17 in the summer (Nokian Hakka Blue) and 205/55/R16 in the winter (Nokian Hakkapeliitta 8).
