Why is that if you dont mind me asking? Fitment issues? ride issues? or just personal choice?


Thanks for the kind words everyone

The owner of Figs Engineering is a long time Lexus owner/enthusiast/CL member who owns, races, develops and fabricates parts for the ISF. His parts are hand made and supported in the U.S.
The suspension arms Figs offers are of a higher qaulity construction then the Cusco parts. You can easly get replacement rod ends without having to replace the entire part. You have options as far as rod end type, powder coating color and race/economy construction.

I choose Figs Mega Arms and Toe links to fit 19x11 wheels with Michelin pilot super sports in a 305 width and have the ability to set the alignment beyond the factory limits.

Yea I know it was her choice. Black wheels are always a pain to keep clean.

Nice F ShagWagon. I thought CalitriSC was the WFC OG on here. LOL!!! Hopefully I'll have a F at the end of the year too.

So , had the Cusco parts installed on the F, lowered it a little more and fixed the stance a bit. Wald wing is on order, then a Tom's front lip to finish off the exterior

Congrats... but why does the wife get the F? My wife gets the Prius and the Superbee and I get the F. I even took her key away so no more F for the wifey. Looks good though.
