OEM parts from Japan are much cheaper, free shipping. I mention it a few times in all my videos. Pricing is another 20-50% or more off of Bells extra 15% off.


PM me if you want my contacts info.

I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Amayama, had to get most from UAE. Is your contact someone that has to be called? Or is there a way to check prices online to get a list together?

​​​​amayama has an air strut 48010-50110 for $840 shipped, I got the same thing for $655.

LS460 knuckles are $600, but $240 here. Etc

I just email them a parts list and they send back pricing. They are the cheapest I've found in 10-15 years of buying parts.

So I have ordered parts of of both Megazip, and also Amayama for my LS, but something I have yet to try, and am curious on... Do they sell parts for USDM Japanese cars too? Such as the Toyota Sequoia, which was designed and built here?

Would be nice to have good source for the rear air suspension parts for the day when they wear out, considering how well the truck levels itself when towing.

Nope. I tried that with my Tundra. All those parts are in warehouses here and those cars weren't available in JP so can't be sourced.
