I've seen these before... i guess if you're going for a drastic drop it looks like a good idea... or i could be thinking of the adjustable control arms or something like that to counter camber being way off... I could be wrong though as I have no area of expertise here...

it says it replaces the lower ball joint and acts a roll center adapter (rca)thats why i ask. Stronger ball joint + RCA = what we need. Since im a noob i was wondering if thats what these really are.

This is a good alternative to new ball joints and front RCA's as this is an all in one package and shortens the lower control arm. However, have you seen the price? For nearly $800 it is a pricey alternative. Brand new lower ball joints that will last you another 100K miles is about $135 a pair, plus front RCA's for about $300. If I could afford it though these arms look pretty good.

yea i know there pricey, and exact has RCAs for $198ish. Althought i just recently replaced my balljoints the horror stories still have me spooked and is always at the back of my mind when driving fast. Not to mention the new RCA bolt failer thread!

I guess they should be ok since all the ones i have seen fail are older version BJ with high miles.

Those are for the rear. I didn't know the SC300, IS300, shares the same lower control arm with the GS.

I think it's a great alternative...minus the whole price thing. Looks like it has a beefier bushing also.

LeXaNoMicS

^^^^ both of those are UPPER arms

n ikeya makes both front and rear.... check out our vendor they make NUMEROUS suspension pieces and if i had loads of $ i would have them all

LeXaNoMicS

i love our vendors dont get me wrong , i just think there prices are way inflated .... like the 5zigen exhaust they wanted something like 11xx for it and would not go lower , i got it for 400+ less than that.

lotta good suspension parts for our car but man price high

Yes, lots of good stuff but prices are high. I have noticed aftermarket prices for the Lexus is very high. Even the OEM prices are high. Prices seem to be higher or about the same as mods for my NSX if you can believe that.

Anyway, these upper and lower arms are a great alternative for those that are real low, want to minimize camber for increase tire wear and better geometry suspension. I'm on front and rear RCA's myself and they DO NOT correct camber enough if you are too low. In fact, I'm not that low compared to many on air or maxed out coil overs, but I couldn't get camber back to a reasonable spec unless I raised my car back up a lot higher with the RCA's on than I would have liked for cosmetic reasons. The RCA's with coilovers just don't offer enough camber correction if you want to stay low. I'm not talking tucked, just 25 1/4" from ground to fender lip edge and it wasn't enough to correct camber. I'm now at 26" from ground to fender and it is better, but I'm about a 1/2" higher cosmetically than I'd like to be. Plus side is I have less bump steer at the higher height than when I was much lower.
