I went with the Supra LCA and OEM UCA with the supra engine mounts. The Supra arms are cheaper than the Lexus units, check with your local Toyota dealer for them.
I got the Supra arms for $285.00 each plus shipping from Elmhurst Toyota. The engine mounts were $158 for the pair shipped.
I got the upper arms from a Lexus dealer off their eBay site for $204.00 each plus shipping.
Yes they are pricey but well worth the $$$. My car rides so nice now.
Got to check my wheel bearing though, looks like the are going bad, have ha rough binding feel when turned by hand.

Having a little something made. Not anything major but just something nice to display at home.

This is not the final rendering but should be done by tomorrow.

Had distributor caps rotors and plugs changed. Car ran terrible because of a broken plug. Purrs now. Easier to isolate other issues with a smooth idle.

Do you have part numbers for the Supra Arms and Mounts by any chance?

Engine mounts L&R sides P/N 12360-46111
LCA P/N 48068-14080 R side, 48069-14080 L side.
I have a brand new Lexus driver side LCA I will be posting for sale, I compared it to the Supra unit and it is identical just a different P/N. If I had know I would have just ordered the right supra LCA and save some money.

I spent a little time the last few days on the paint, buffing out swirl marks with Perfect-It 39062 and a Ultrafine Foam Polishing Pad. I think it turned out nice.

This is the rear quarter closeup, before and after.
