Default Went to Texas Hill Country with a bunch of car guys [Video]

My friend has a 420 hp MR2 and invited me to go with them. Went with my wife this past weekend and had a great time. I was really impressed how much a good set of tires let me keep up with the "fast group". I tried to edit it pretty short.

For sure. Everyone said my rear was super loose (no pun intended). I plan on purchasing all of those by Ultra Racing, some sways and so on.

If you really wanna eat up those turns then think about buying the following :

Coilovers Or A Good Spring / Shock Combo.
Sway Bars,
New Bushes,
A Good Alignment.

Lots of stuff from places like Figs Engineering to improve the big old Lexus handling wise.I don't think Ultra Racing do braces from the 2GS , Could be wrong tho.

ultra racing makes a front lower brace like the TRD , a strut bar, and a rear cross bar.

TMF2004 - Have you got any links to the Ultra Racing Braces for the 2GS?

To save you a bit of work. The ebay store sells 3 of those, but not that giant one last time I checked. But here's the kicker. I messaged them and they said it would be like $140 or something like that if it's just straight through paypal. So when the time comes I might just make them an offer in bulk for all the braces at once. Good luck.

It's considered Texas Hill Country. Just pause the video where the map is displayed and you should be able to figure it out. We started out in Kerrville. NW of San Antonio.
