I'd recommend the Megan, or better than those the BCR coilovers, stay away from the ksports IMO.

For the GS you can get SPC upper control arms that give you a reaplcement ball joint with camber AND cater adjustment. That's a good choice.

Feel free to PM us for info on these items or for pricing

What kind of ride are you looking for? I had Daizen bushings and removed them because they felt too harsh for me, and all I did was the caster bushing. I went back to OEM and was much happier. A lot of people have Daizens and most seem to be happy. I'm not a fan of their particular design though, especially on a lowered car.

No. Toyota does not sell the bushing by itself. However TRD does so it's probably best to contact Carson Toyota for that. I was quoted a 3 months wait for them, but I much rather go through that route than get the Daizens again.

You can order caster arms from Lexus, supposedly if you get 01+, it is the TRD design bushing.

You have to link us to the product itself, not the shopping cart
