Are you still pursuing the front LBJ upgrade? high speed+terrrible roads+ heavy car equals disaster. I just hit a bump going 50mph and my whole car rattled. Imagine doing that on the freeway at higher speed.

That looks good.

These heim joints are used mostly on race cars and I have a set on my supra but they make alot of noise. So I'm thinking that it will definately be noisey for the GS don't you think?
if your heims make noise on a street driven car, then maybe you were sold cheap heims. in this application, the part is not seeing direct impact loads, and should not be wearing out to quickly at all. the heims i use on my off road cars last a year or more while getting pounded on, hundreds of times per minute. heims for this app. should run about 60-90 bucks each. depending on size.
