I guess I'll just ask this here. I *may* be getting closer to doing some suspension mods. Do you think I should start with Daisen sways or CS first? And also, do sways or coilovers or any of the braces affect the warranty at all?

As for warranty, suspension related issues will be affected since you obviously have swapped out the OEM parts.

Thanks, Neo! You're kind of who I'm looking at in this area because you're running a similar setup to what I hope for (CS, Daisen, 18s, maybe 19s). As far as the warranty...I kinda want to do this and kill that damn OEM gap, but at the same time I'm only at 7k miles and I think quite a few people on here bought used and didn't have to worry about a warranty. Are you confident enough in Lexus/Tein/Daisen to make this switch in spite of the warranty? There's a part of me that wants to wait until the warranty is out to do anything, but part of me is impatient!
BTW, Neo. PM me about what you decided on that part I have for sale. Mine is a ton cheaper than what another guy is trying to sell right now.

It is a hard call on the warranty. I've had the L-tuned S/S, Flex, and now CS. I had TRD sways and now Daizen. I also have a bunch of braces and aftermarket wheels. Has all this impacted the wear and tear of the car? It probably has. I have not had any problems, however (knock on wood), that would have needed the warranty. The Daizen and Tein parts are very well made. If you go with the percentages, then you should not have any problems. You just never know sometimes though. I can't offer you a guarantee but only my experience with the upgrades.
As for the other thing, I sent you email.

My tein CS ride smoothly compared to stock just as many members here have mentioned. However I drive on the 3 setting front and back on a daily basis for that sporty, yet comfy ride.

Neo...you got email!
But since you bought yours new, and anyone else that would like to chime in...
What is your milage now and what was your milage when you started suspension upgrades? If you bought used w/ no warranty, I don't really care b/c it doesn't apply to me. But if you had/have a warranty, I'd love to hear how other approached this. Everyone seems to love Tein and Daisen, so I'm leaning toward trusting them and maybe getting this done (it's not set yet) despite the warranty. But I'd love to hear others milage, wear and tear, warranty effects, etc. Especially from those who bought new.

i had my Daizen's put on after ~55K on my newly bought 2000 and i had some creaking so i
took it into Lexus for maintenance. they said they couldn't touch it since it was aftermarket
but if i had other suspension work and it was covered so i didn't pay for it. i also could have
just put the old sways back on and they would have fixed those too.
(BTW - the creaking from the sways was due to the original mech that i took it to didn't pack
them with enough grease. no hit on the sways, they work GREAT!)
good luck.
-d.
