Default Got my big bad suspension parts!

Hi all. I finally received my package from amayama (I say finally because it took a month to arrive from Japan). Everything I ordered (see pics) was shipped and in good condition. It was packed tightly and comfortably in a small 1 sqft box.

I ordered everything necessary for a complete front end suspension refresh minus coilovers, strut rod bushings (already have a set), and lca's. All the individual packaging for each part has toyota branded stickers and part numbers as though I ordered them straight from the dealer(see pics).

All in all, I have to say it was a pleasure doing business with amayama and if anyone wants individual part pics or comparisons to the parts off of my car, then you'll have to wait a while but I will take some when I have the work done if anyone wants them.








Total cost: $800.70 shipped. Highly recommend them for parts you need if you're not in a huge rush.

was the price difference that much better going through amayama, then say a dealer within the states? usually you can get genuine OEM parts from dealers under MSRP. i do miss sewell lexus when they had a club lexus discount.

Well I did most of my reference shopping on lexus south atlanta and over there, an upper control arm costs almost $450. Amayama had it for $160. I didn't shop @ any local dealers because of bad experiences with them. I also searched on rockauto and a lot of their aftermarket parts are cheaper (obviously) but it's not oem. I want to feel the way the car drives with all brand new oem parts.

@Yamae - uhh no.
