Hello all, my name is dion and this is my first post. I've been a member for 6 months or so, I've just been lurking in the shadows. I have a 98 spectra blue mica gs400. The car already had a bunch of mods done to it before I bought it, but there's always room for more anyways, I'm replacing pretty much everything to do with the front suspension for my peace of mind. I already have moog ball joints,inner and outer tie rods, spc adjustable upper control arms, figs steering rack,caster arm, and lower control arm bushings, tein comfort sport coilovers and supra tt brakes. It's all sitting in my garage waiting to be put on when I finally get some free time. My question is, is there anything else in the front end I should be checking out or replacing? I know there's a lot of you guys out there with more knowledge than the lexus dealership and any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm glad I found a site with other people that are just as obsessed with their 2gs as I am. Sorry for such a long intro

Welcome bro! Love the color! Now, IMO! Add your own HUGE touch to that beauty, and ditch the wheels, get yourself some classy a** wheels and let that blue BLING! Hahaha, unless of course you like the black cool. Car looks great, congrats and welcome.

Oh and sorry didn't answer your question! Btw GREAT!!!! Choice of parts there my man. Steering rack bushings, motor mounts since it's a 98.... Um..... Hmm what's the timing belt, water pump, cam seals and crank seal, valve cover gaskets, and plugs situation looking like? Before I did my entire (just as you have listed but I went with BC's 14/12 rates) suspension overhaul, I did all the timing good stuff first, rebuilt the VVTI pully... All the good stuff... You'll probably want to check your differential bushings as well... Um... Hmm... How's she shifting? How many miles? Possibly a full Trans flush, or should I call it FULL drain and refill to be politically correct hahaha. But great choice on parts! Esp! Brakes! You get yourself some stainless steel lines? Goodridge if not! Legit. Ask away there's many here to answer, but a quick search up top will answer your questions as well in more ways you can imagine rephrasing any question you may have HAHAHAHA trust me, sure many of them are me as well. Oh! And sway bar end links! Replace those as well.
