Your car already has one. Your 2004 that is.

If it has been discontinued, then you can't.

I'd try to get the steering rack tightened as one of the other alternatives.

I think all of the Ltuned parts are discontinued, which really sucks. I really hope the next GS has a sports package option from the factory.........

If the 2004 comes with this ECU, wouldn't it be possible to just order the part?

I just got a call from Serramonte Lexus saying that my steering ECU just came in after placing an order 1.5 weeks ago.

Default Carson Toyota Confirmed

I talk to them today and Steve Confirm there is no more for right now..

Oh well.. Somebody said it didn't make much difference anyways.. I guess i can compensate with my Sways and STB

Oh yeah....I saved $130 Bucks!!

cal_alum98,
If you got one better hold on to it or just auction it off.. You probably have one of the last pieces..
