Ok so back to the drawing board on the proper front suspension setup:
I have decent supposedly OEM quality UCAs on my car now but I can feel them kind of giving a little play (I think but I could also need my tires balanced) nonetheless I am going for coilovers soon and it was recommended that I inspect all these things before trying to see how low I can go. My main concerns being UCAs and LBJs. Should I go for the Ikeya Formula ones here:

or should I go with the direct OEM replacements:

I've heard Ikeya Formula are the shiznit and all that but of course OEM is best; BUT i'm trying to figure out why the hell these two IF arms are cheaper than the OEM arms? Someone please help.

 

OEM . All the R&D Toyota does to make sure these parts are safe is the worth it for me.

 

Hey, u should check out Sewell as there OEM arms are a little cheaper.. 430.00 a peice is crazy..

Here is the link to Sewell.. 694.00 with discount for my 99 GS4

the shopping cart didnt show up whats the link to the UCAs because i don't see them even listed on the site

 

The link works for me...

Here it is again

it works but the cart is empty. i found them though. they listed for $518 and I'm guessing after the CL discount they cost $694 for both?

 

Yes that is for both.. Thats weird that the cart is empty U could go another route and get the SPC upper control arms.. THere a half that price..

 

get the ikeya's. it allows adjustment of camber and caster.
aftermarket is better on this item. oem sucks

 

wow. and we get a discount on those through club lexus? you have the link for the SPC UCAs? because I know those are legit. the ones I got are a little shifty

I do want the Ikeya's. but i have seen posts saying they are too harsh for daily driving. I just want something that will last more than 2 years.

 

Ok i found some SPCs for $400. anyone ever ordered from this site?

No but a vendor here sells them for much cheaper...under 400.00

 

WHAT!!? thats nuts. you have the link? or at least know their name. I'll probably search it. But I'm going to look for that now. I might buy these this week

 

I think its CircuitMS....

 

yea i found them. sent a PM just waiting for a reply. thanks for the heads up on that

 

if you want to retain some ride quality, do not buy the ikeyas. they are very stiff and rigid, essentially for drift/road race use. Brand new OEM arms will be fine. I would also not recommend poly bushings if you plan on slamming the car as they can crack and tear.

I would recommend this setup:

New OEM CAs, Balljoints, Tie rod ends, front and rear RCAs and the SPC camber kits. That should handle just about anything you throw at it.
