I have an 03' GS430 and I want a small drop, but still my warranty cover everything. Do all dealerships still sell and install l-tuned parts?

L-Tuned is gone. Most dealers did not want to touch L-Tuned, even when they were still active.

The only place that still seems to be selling L-Tuned parts is Sewell. I am also curious about how dealers are handling L-Tuned. Since they are no longer around, will they still honor the 1 year warranty if they install it? It may be hard since if something went wrong, it would be hard for them to get parts if they are all gone.

plus, if the ltuned springs/shocks (if you can find them) are installed right, there shouldn't be any problems anyway

Go with the Ebiach set up I think it will do the same thing you want a small drop

I bought my L-Tuned stuff from Sewell. Check in the clublexus vendor section, Sewell has L-Tuned stuff on sale right now. They have everything still in stock except for the emblems and 18" salina rims. I would think that the dealers won't warranty the actual L-Tuned stuff, but it shouldn't affect your warranty. I've been to both Maplewood and Wayzata and the people i've talked to don't even know what L-Tuned is.

P.S. good to see another minnesotan. What area are you from?

Thanks for the tip. I purchased a l-tuned shock and spring setup today. What a great price! Ill probably have my friend's shop install for me. I live in apple valley, by the way. Where r u located?

flossn

That's cool, I'm from Apple Valley too! Here's my car if you've seen it around




It has 20's on it in the summer which I'm hoping to put back on in a week or so if it would ever stop snowing. I have the L-Tuned exhaust on it now, but haven't had time to put the springs/shocks on. Does your buddy work at a performance shop by chance?

Sweet Ride. I have seen it and was wondering who drove it. My friend's dad owns Pro-Tech Automotive and I have a bunch of friends that work there. They dont do any performance work there

flossn

Thanks! Pro-tech is about a 3 iron away from my house Never been there but i've seen a few cars on 20's there... Have anything done to your car?

Communicated with Wayzata recently and they will install l-tuned springs/shocks and do an alignment afterward around $700.

I am not a legal expert but shocks and to a lesser extent springs are normal maintanence Items like brakes and filters? What if I went to Pep Boys for a set of their shocks. Unless they can prove the Shocks and Springs caused some type of damage there is not way in hell a dealer can refuse warranty service on other parts of the car. If they did I would contact the Lexus district rep in the area who will obviously have more knowledge of L-Tuned products. If the shocks or springs do go bad within a year Sewell should honor the warranty and replace the defective items.

I doubt there will be a problem with the warranty on L-Tuned parts. That TRD spinoff is gone, but I don't think Lexus will orphan us. And any dealer who went to the trouble to acquire the inventory as Sewell has wouldn't want the bad press that would go with leaving a warranty claim/owner twisting in the wind. Sounds like they are still trying to support the enthusiast. (Plus it's almost unheard of to have a bad spring and shocks don't exactly go limp on a daily basis, either.)

1 year is really a very short time in the normal life of those suspension parts.

Mine have been on over two years and I still couldn't be happier!!
