Where can i get both ....my lower ball joint and Daizen control arm bushings from? Since Im in Hawaii and shipping cost an arm and a leg....I'd prefer to buy both items from the same seller....to take advantage of shipping both items in the same box.

According to the TM Engineering website:

Low durometer polyurethane replacement for worn OEM rubber bushings. Solves most irregular tire wear problems and highway speed driveability problems. Complete with hardware, special synthetic chassis grease and instructions. One kit services all arms on front or rear of vehicle

Other members have said front only? Is there a misprint on the website?

that's in general, it doesn't say for the gs. for the gs there is only one set for the front for now

for example the sc300/400, they have both front and back

Default Hey Rominl, share with me your expirience with Daizen

I'm wondering how many miles did you put on your suspention since i've upgraded with Daizen, also how does it feel? after few hundred and/or thousand miles...
Is it still tight as they were installed brand new?
I've noticed that material used to make Daizen bushing kit is rock solid, i have installed urethane bushings on my previous car and they were softer than Daizen's

My concern is about Daizen bushings cracking at low temp. What do you think Rominl?
