is300 feels like death trap @70mph
I just picked up a 2001 is300 that has the eiback pro kit and tokico shocks and the car has horrible tracking issues when driving on the highway. The alignment is straight and the steering rack feels tight in the steering wheel I'm at a loss of what could cause this issue.
Tires are 225/45/17 front and 245/45/17 rear
Thanks

I'm guessing that you got an alignment recently since you say its good. Post the specs. I would have guesses that the toe was off. The front lower #2 control arm bushings are likely to be bad as well if they have never been changed.

As of today I have replaced front shocks, new front adj upper control arms, figs LS400 BBK with new rotors, calipers, pads, rear rotors and pads and strut rod bushings for the front.. Car rides much better..
FYI tires are new.
EDIT: Just replaced driver side lower ball joint and the vibration problem is solved.
