Failed shaken (車検) over these because they’re not Oem. No identifying marks, look familiar? Need spec sheet that’s certifies or shows it’s certification for street legal use.

Where do you live? They make you use OEM suspension components?

You can have aftermarket so long as a certificate designates it as street legal, and even then rarely is it questioned. I live in Okinawa. Not saying it’s a certain way, lets just say Americans getting treated differently wasn’t too far off in Tokyo drift, more so here since the island feels stuck in the 90s I’m some places. And older folk hate military retirees contractors and the sort. Little things like this happen. But as mentioned, was told brand was not legal, but there are 0 markings, scarily similar to Godspeed but even they had it cleared for oem replacement and Minor tracking

Based on the color they could be an early version of the Megan Racing ones. https://meganracing.com/suspension/t...ms/mrs-lx-0322

However since they don't have some of the cutouts they could be made by Godspeed instead. Looks like most of the stuff they sell now is red but other than the color they are the closest design match. Very possible they were sold in blue before. https://godspeedproject.com/lexus-is...trol-arms.html

ebay has them in all colors. And, looks like it’s been on there a while. However regardless of brand, this is not a part that disqualifies the car. It’s the over cambered swapped old Toyota’s or Nissan’s that does dumb stuff to fail, title also needs to reflect non factory changes (gutted caged swap conversions paint wider panels or wheelbase etc) not a RLCA. Shot the picture with the issue to a few folks to see if it is in fact an early iteration. Either way needs removed unless one of those rare high quality small business fabs
