I just bought the DST bushings and I also live in N.Y. I got a feeling this is going to suck. I have no other choice though. I already spent close to 300 on the bushings, i'm not going to throw them out.

I wish i could trade my suspension with someone who doesnt like thier stock ride and wants better handling and all that.My neighbor hates his benz compared to his BMW.He says his benz rides to soft for him and hes all about handling.Hes different from me.I prefer nice ride over handling.

It's what u got!!

Daizen Sport Tuning = DST

at least you have some local buyers with cash ready to rock, that's always good...dude, don't sell your ride just because of these bushings. I'm sure you could find a fellow member who's local and willing to swap out lower control arms with you. Just swap arms and a little cash and start over with all the new info you've acquired. I've been researching this bushing stuff for a long time now so pm me if you have any questions and hopefuly I can help.

I only want the upper bushings. I actually prefer the harsh ride. I have whiteline bushings on my front and it don't get harder than that.

The interior will be coming out soon.

If I wanted a cruiser, I'd take the car in the background.



I highly recommend the whitelines if anyone is building a track car.

And this is EXACTLY what I don't understand about some of you guys. Why buy a luxury cruiser and turn it into a track car? That's like people who buy Escalades/Expeditions and lower them. I gave the Whiteline bushings the big thumbs down because they suck in terms of ride quality. I bought a Lexus because of the ride quality, why would I destroy that with some whiteline bushings? That's called de-engineering, and I'm not down with that.

Scoobie and 240 guys can disagree all the hell they want, this isn't a 240/scoobie board, it's a LEXUS board. So obviously I'd only be interested in things for my Lexus. Why didn't you get a Supra or a 240? Why not a lighter car since you're interested in taking it to the track? I just don't get some of you guys who go out and get a luxury cruiser and then de-engineer the damn thing. There's easier and BETTER ways to go about building a track car, like picking a lighter vehicle and one that was initially designed for your intentions. No offense, so please don't take it that way, but it just seems backwards...next thing ya know people will be trying to turn Hummers into track cars, lol.

$59 each for KYB ones from TireRack just make sure you talk to Brandon and ask him about the ride quality of the KYB struts. I've never used them before so I don't know exactly how they ride. Good luck.
