Exclamation New! Nagisa Auto suspension parts for LS400



Rear Lower Arm

The Rear Lower Arm allows adjustments and corrections to camber. Camber may be adjusted without needing to remove the lower arm after installed. For Racing Applications.
Adjustments to rear camber settings will affect tire wear and rear traction under various loads.

Rear Tension Rod

Replaces stock tension rods with reinforced units with solid pillowball ends.
May be used for Caster angle changes.
Factory tension rods use a rubber bushing which tends to wear quickly and affect handling stability. Adjustable pillowball ends allow for adjustment beyond factory settings.
Multi-link suspension pieces feature high quality construction and durable spherical pillow ball ends, which eliminates factory rubber bushing type suspension arms.

Rear Toe Rod

For adjustment of toe in and toe out, Nagisa Auto toe control rods allow for fine tuning of the suspension.
A broad range of toe settings can greatly affect turn-in and other handling characteristics.
Replaces factory bushing style ends with adjustable spherical pillowball joints.

prices are up there but not bad at all for NA parts, il be looking into the Rear Lower Arm, tie rod ends, and the adjustable front camber adapter (lowers the car an extra 2cm in the front )

no rubber bushings = harsh ride
no dust boots on the pillowblocks = have fun greasing your suspension every few hundred miles
adjustable tie rod ends, a little redundant huh?

i guess that's why the website states "for off-road use only." i thought we drive our LS's because we don't want to feel the shock of every road irregularity.

the prices are ridiculous, even if the parts are made of stainless or 4340. a high schooler could fab these using readily available tubing/hex rod/plate, a mill/lathe and welder.

I couldn't have said it better.
Not that i wouldn't buy those sort of parts but not a direct connection of everything . For $1000 i could buy a locking diff and get much more enjoyment from it. An upgraded strut rod with a better bushing would be nice but who here needs toe adjustment for the rear end, camber yes but toe?

I'm not saying it is needed or even if anyone with an LS actually cares about this sort of mod, but my NSX did have adjustable rear camber an toe from the factory. The rear toe adjustment really does influence and change the behavior and handling of the car. I know an LS is a totally different type of car, but I can appreciate an adjustable rear toe link. That said the prices of these products are pretty high. I'm one of those rare Lexus owners that wouldn't mind stiffening up the suspension as I'm more used to sports cars, but a solid pillow ball mount is something I would have to experience first before I plop down this much money. Even my NSX used some sort of rubber bushings.
