Nagisa makes great stuff

Here are the Nagisa adjutable tension rod pics when they were installed:





I'll be picking up some more Nagisa pieces in the near future.

Very nice. Car does not feel rough at all. Granted I already have Daizen bushings in my front. But I love the way it feels, I want to say it handles better, but I won't just for the fact that it could all just be in my head. I'd love to see what difference the UCAs, rear lower control arms, etc. I'll keep you guys updated in the future when I get some more parts .

So those tension rods replaces the caster arms correct? I know my casters are all beat to the grave having 222,9xx miles on my 99gs300. I dont know if I should just pay the dollars for the tension rods or replace the bushings on the caster arms.

Yes thats correct. Thats quite a lot of miles LOL. These were a bit more than it was going to cost me to replace with OEM parts. I actually replaced the Daizen bushing because the shop that installed it did not do it right. They suggested I replace with OEM but I just went ahead and ordered the Nagisa. It was a no brainer for me. Plus they have spherical joints so no worries about soft rubber bushings wearing out like on the OEM part.
