Did your kit come with new caster arms or was it just a "camber" kit?

The SPC front kit is an UCA-only. It just happens that you can control camber and caster angle with it.

SEWELL DOES sell a castor arm bushing actually...


http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2001/4685.html


but these WILL NOT work on the 1998-1999 models as they used the older castor arms which are a different sized arm than the others (i thought the 2000 models used the old ones too but according to sewells site these fit the 2000 so i dunno)

i thought u said u ordered already from TM scriber? U will EVENTUALLY get them from them,just have some patience. BTW you will NEVER get them daizen directly, todd @ tm is the ONLY authorized dealer anymore. a few dealerships,including sewell used to carry them but they werent dealers as they STILL got their supply from TM engineering. part of the reason they stopped carrying them at the dealerships is the problems getting them from tm and only todd and a few select OG's know the real story behind all this. if its really a problem getting them from todd or if todd is having problems getting them from daizen directly who is in japan....BTW last i heard daizen is under new management as the owner or founder died. i made a few notions a year or so ago to a few people about what it would take to become a dealer and get the supply of this brand moving again but i didnt really get anywhere with it.


if u wanna do some research on todd on here his SN is/was doublewhoosh or try here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mem...osh.html#stats

his last post was in 2007 though guys so he isnt here anymore. i talked to him via email when i had a few orders in, he was pleasant for the most part than he stopped answering and finally im sure i annoyed him and he made me wait almost 60 days for my control arm bushing kit but my steering rack bushing kit i got really quick.
