I dont see how they could stop selling these steering rack and control arm bushings when thousands of lexus owners would love to have them. Another company has to get down to business and start manufacturing these damn things. Stealerships want hundreds of dollars for those control arms. oh wait sewell is a stealership lol, thats what i hate about lexus cars there is nobody out there that makes aftermarket parts, hell for my mustang i can find control arm bushings at the local grocery store.

Sewell said they couldn't get in contact with daizen and they weren't reliable therefore they would no longer be an active distributor.

Well it's not to say we are SOL with Daizen, it just seems like it is taking forever for them to produce these kits...and now TM Engineering is our only option for ordering...

the one thing you all have forgotten so it seems is that todd (TM) doesnt make these so i would assume its daizen screwing him around not just him jerking around with it... although it easily could be him jerking around....for the sake of his reputation (when he started, not now) and his $ i wouldnt imagine it was him.

once i get my bushings, from him though i dont need anything else though. i already have my daizen sway bar bushings, steering rack bushings and these now so hopefully i should be good to go

EDIT: just got off the phone with glen, interesting stuff bout TM. disregard the RED post if anyone read it
