Man...you have no idea lol. My car is a 2005 and had about 10k miles on it when I completely redid the whole suspension. I don't think I have anything left on my suspension that came factory besides what couldn't be changed out lol.

Let's see...I have:
Tein Flex Coilovers
EDFC Gen2(black box version)
TRD Sway Bars F/R
Front TRD Under Chassis Brace
Rear Under Chassis Brace
Strut Bars F/R
Daizen Steering Rack Bushings

The only things that is still OEM are the ball joints and control arm bushings. My car only has 20k some miles so no need to change out the bushings yet. But, I did change out the front ball joints once already lol. I drove so hard in the beginning that they were starting to make noises

Default Daizen lower control arm bushings?

How many of you actually changed your lower control arm bushings when, replacing the bushings? I was told not to change them because the car would track real hard to the road. Just curious to see if those of you that did change them experienced this problem?

Jeff, you must have a fund for car mods and a fund for citations and violations.
