Default Daizen sways question(HELP)

Had anyone had a problem installing them? I followed the DIY and the front went right in! Easy as pie. The rear was even easier to remove but the daizen won't fit. It seems that it's too long or not bent the right way and I don't want to try and bend it. Help please!


side 1


side 2



stock vs daizen

Yup. Reverse those endlinks. Also dont forget to loosen up the lower shock bolt to make things a lot easier!

I'm not too happy with Daizen design (hence why i sold mine), but I'm sure you'll notice a difference from the stock setup

I dont think you'll be unsatisfied with them if you're coming from stock.

I had TRD before and went back down to Daizen because of people raving how much smoother the Daizen are, while having almost as good of a perfomance. But I learned is that Lexus owner's definition of 'stiff' isn't even close to what 'stiff' is for most other car owners. I rode in GS with Tein Flex and HA. None of them I would call "stiff" by definition, just 'stiffer' than OEM

Anyways, when I went back to Daizen, I had a good amount of body roll and the ride didn't really improve much. Dung0981 has Tanabe NF-210 springs with TRD sways. His car is smoother than my L-tuned with the previous Daizen, and it has less body roll. In the end, I lost money on the both the TRD and Daizen set. I sold each at a loss. Now I'm back to stock But who knows..your experience might differ from mine. Dont take my words for it because I'm just one guy out of the thousands who have used Daizen.

well so far I only have them front one on(rear to be installed sunday) and it's a nice improvement over stock. I will wait for a final comparison when I get the rear one installed along with all my other stuff(BBK, wheels, l-tunned suspension, and exhaust) all this will be put on sunday morning. i'll let you know what i think
