ebay not the way to go unless you are buying plastic stuff. Anything with movements and made of metal in not CL style. You own a luxury beauty then treat it like one a give it a steak not mac and cheese.

Lol, Steak and not a Mac & cheese...I'm sure that you might be able to find reputable people on E-bay that are selling authentic items however you need to be very careful when your doing that.

i bought my last 2 lexus cars from ebay............ (edited this to say my last 2 lexus cars instead of my last 2 lexus)

just gotta know how/where to look. there are great buys on ebay.

OP find a decent strut bar isnt hard, they pop up on here all the time or check out some ebay ones, not necessarily the el cheapo from there but its your car. i personally have a custom one Phil made and i bought from chris (both members on here) but i like the JDM aristo one. there is a cusco strut bar on sale in the classifieds right now

He probably means it handles how a Lexus should, soft and floaty.

My car needs a serious suspension overhaul. It's not doing too good.... I've driven Mitsubishis with smoother rides.
