604GS400

So I was looking at the SuperPro caster arm #2 bushings and it seems like these two products are identical (http://shopfigs.com/v3/G2GS300CST2-40-SPF-N and http://superpro.suspension.parts/spf4084k). I know Figs is highly reputable in the community, but I was wondering if anyone would know if there is a reason why that Figs sells the bushings for nearly $100 more?

Hey bro,
take a look through that website. I think it might actually be a similar or maybe even same part. Super Pro is the manufacture for Figs.

I found a few sources for them here in the US, FIGS is one; having them shipped from AU, like I did a couple years ago, or shopping around might save you a few bucks.

SPF3087K for GS 1998-2000 these have 60mm bushings
SPF4084K for GS 2000-2005 these have 65mm bushings

We developed the Gen2GS application with Superpro and currently have exclusive on the 1998-2000 model offering. We keep them in stock, we support the product and have done more than a few rescue missions to get the correct bushings in people's hands when they misorder or misclassify the bushings on their car. We are looking at pricing adjustments this year as the currency impact of AUD vs USD has created an adjustment factor that we can finally deal with on our supply side. The issue we were having is a lot of expedite fees, air shipments etc to keep things in stock the last 3 years based on demand. The fact that we have them in house and ship same day is the critical influence on our pricing.

Went through the same dilemma last spring. Here is my thread.... https://www.clublexus.com/forums/suspension-and-brakes/819983-caster-and-control-arm-bushings.html


So long story short if you need these ASAP or have a 98-00, order them from figs. If you have time to wait, order directly from superpro. I think it took two weeks for mine to come in.

Well, SuperPro does not sell direct so you are always buying through a dealer. Also keep in mind the territory support and warranty terms apply based on MAP pricing. We are getting a formal MAP outlay on some of these part numbers and our prices will adjust accordingly. In any case, we offer a complete master bushing kit for the car with many options and additional discounts on combined purchases. We will work with customers on competitive pricing, we had just been in the situation too many times where we were stocked out and there were no other parts available worldwide so we had to incorporate the logistics into our pricing. Most of these sites that just focus on listing part numbers do not stock or support the transaction after it is placed.
