Interchangable UCAs for 2gen GS?
I would also like to know how non factory parts have worked out for other people over long periods of time. I really want to rebuild my whole front end (upper control arms, all bushings, lower ball joints, and inner and outer tie rods ) but even from Sewell all that stuff is like $1500. But I think that the factory must be higher quality or have a lot of r&d that the other companies didn't do.
Does anyone have aftermarket suspension parts that they have had for a LONG TIME with good results?

Only adjustable FUCA's are SPC. FIGS is working on a set but no real ETA yet. Your other option would be buying some Nagisas or 7 Demand FUCA's straight from Japan but you'd be looking at an easy 1200.

As in my previous comment.. Moog is a good reliable brand to go with. I run Moog LBJ's and Outer Tie Rods on my GS as a few other members do. They're beefier and sturdier than OEM's and also give you more of a stiffer feel than OEM parts do also. If you're going to rebuild your suspension i'd recommend their parts hands down. They make LBJ's, Outer Tie Rods, Inner Tie Rods, LCA's, UCA's.
MOOG it is for me. thanks again
Thanks man, I think i am convinced to save some cash and go with moog, i talked to a mechanic buddy today and without me mentioning moog, i was just complaining about the price of oem suspension parts, he right away mentioned moog parts. he has never used them on a lexus before (he has never worked on one) but everything else he put them in he had great results, he also mentioned that they are usually beefier than stock.

Make sure when you order order through RockAuto.com
You can probably get everything Moog for your front end off there for 600. Prolly less.
Caster arms are the only ones I've yet to find, but then again I've never searched that hard. IMO I'd buy some used ones and then buy some FIGS Spherical Bushings and press them in. That would be what I would do if you're needing new bushings.
If you're in need of some caster arms there is a part out going on right now in the 2GS Classifieds. PM that guy and see if they're still good maybe you can scoop them.
