Default Coilovers intalled, adjustable control arms needed

Hello Guys,

So I have gotten my coilovers installed.. and im waiting for the suspension to settle so I can go for an allignment and road force balancing but in order to reduce camber in front im looking for SPC adjustable upper control arms because my tires are still new and I dont want to destroy them.. is anyone aware of a good deal on those?

Second, since the new arms will come with rubber bushings, I will need to replace the lower control arm aswell and possibly the castor arm too since I dont want combination of poly and rubber.. I could get new rubber bushings pressed in but I could not really find much, the ones i found are more expensive then brand new arms themselves.. so as a DIY'er I will like control arms ready for me to install.. and I will be selling my control arms with the poly bushings from daizen.. they were installed last summer (upper control arm was new and i still have the oem upper ones sitting also, ready to have bushings placed in them aswell), and car has been inside the garage since october and taken out now so the bushings are great condition!

now I have been researching about what brand to get for the lower control arms.. I have seen MOOG, Mevotech, beck/arnley, dorman, etc.. The only problem is that i seem to find different opinions on each.. from my understanding, beck/arnley & moog are best but sometimes dorman, mevotech repack oem parts and send them.. if anyone knows better please let me know! The castor arm I cannot seem to find.. If I can get both those lower control arms and upper spc adjustable one. I will sell all my control arms as a set with the daizen bushings already installed..

If anyone can answer my questions above that would be much appreciated, and if anyone is interested in the arms let me know.. ofcourse you will have to wait until I get my parts and take those out and that has to be done within 2 weeks.

Thankyou!

btw the coilovers have made a huge difference in the car.. it has completely changed and I love it! very little body role and no more floating boat feeling! they have made the car smoother but ofcourse a slight bump or crack is slightly more noticeable but not really too bad, I mean I felt them in the stock suspension as well.. the best part is the handling and control.. and with lowered height the car looks like something else! im really happy with the results and Im finally quite happy with how my sc feels in terms of driving! so thankyou to those on here who inspired me to do this

Default lower control arm question

Does anyone know what is the right part number for the #2 lower control arm? I am finding different numbers and its confusing.. where can i get a good deal for these and shipped to Canada.

lexus
48068E - 4867024020 lower left
48069A - 4866024020 lower right

on partsgeek the part is OES genuine i dono if that means OEM?
W0133-1899880 lower left
W0133-1740388 lower right

im also looking for the 1st lower control arm for both sides.. if the spc adjustable arm could be switched to poly that would save me alot of money but I dont think poly's are made for those.. anyhow if anyone knows where i can get all the front lower control arms for a good deal shipped to canada please let me know!

thank you

I have both sides brand new Meyles brand, let me know if interested. I bought them but never installed them
these are nonadjustable, $100+ whatever shipping for both sides. They are brand new
