LS400 Toe adjustment
What are you guys using for toes adjustment? I just had my car aligned and I still have a decent amount in the rear. Is anyone using the way overpriced Nagisa ones?
Currently I have -4.5* rear camber, toe cam bolts are maxed out and I still have toe in.
If anyone is interested or has the same problem and has any interest I may see about making my own with parts from speedwaymotors.com.

Just thought I would report back with what I did. I ended up just having spacers made, and bought some aurora rod ends. These now offer 2.3" of adjustment from stock.
(sorry for the crappy pics)

I actually was watching this threat as I have -4.5 camber in the rear too and my toe is off. What kind of spacers did you get and where did you buy those rod ends? How much?
Let's see pic's on the car too when you get them on and before and after reading at the the alignment shop.

I am going to install them this evening I hope and get it installed tomorrow.
Jason, total was 178 with the machining.
Silos5- I did the end like this for ease of install and because this was available. The stock camber bolt is still used for the inside. The outer baljoint taper I am drilling out. If people are interested in these I have an extra set of rear knuckles I am going to use to have the stud made for a direct swap in.

Cool man. I need to buy some in the future. I would like to see some pics if you can, when you get in there and do this.

I'll keep you updated. Should go in for an alignment saturday or sunday now. I went ahead and I am having the studs made instead of drilling my stock knuckle out.

Alright, got the passenger side installed tonight. The driver side cam bolt is stuck. These pics are with the rods adjusted as short as they go with the cam bolts set at max toe out. I have machined bolts with the correct taper that should be in by tomorrow afternoon, so more pics will come. So far I am happy with the outcome, the rear spacers are very snug to get in the stock mounts.
pics (crappy as usual)

Not going to have any updates on this for a long time it seems. Moved to a new house which I can't drive my car to because I keep getting sand in the bead of the tire and it goes flat = /
