depends. ebay is a great site and you can get good deals but i have also personally seen friends get screwed. if i deal with ebay i make sure they have good rep and i only deal with powersellers. they may charge a lil more but ebays already hella cheap and id rather pay a lil more for peace of mind. nothing is worse than getting burned and unfortunately theyre a bunch of douche bags out there so my best advice to you would simply be to do some research.

Im back! Feels good to be home. Lexus vid will come in the very near future. I want to finish up some things first.

Doing some things to make the lexus feel new again
1. Intrax sway bars and bushings(finally after collecting dust forever lol)
2. Daizen front control arm bushings
3. Daizen steering rack bushings
4. Lower ball joints
5. Outer tie rod ends
6. Rear spindles
7. Rear lower traction rods

More to come!!!
