Hi guys, I just purchased my first Lexus the gs300. It's a good upgrade from an audi a4 1.8t. The only thing wrong with the gs is the upper control arm is done. I was wondering if you guys can suggest any part places. Also does the gs share parts with the Avalon? If so would the control arm fit from the Avalon? And one more thing any local NY guys work on Lexus on the side for extra cash?
