Top Speed ADJ Toe Arms
I did replace mine also with TOP SPEED ADJ TOE ARM from a IS300, and like Mr Jokster said i does feel tight.
Here's the before with (coil overs, SAGE RCA front, SAGE RCA back on the +2 camber (middle) setting.
Here's the after with (coil overs, SAGE RCA front, SAGE RCA back on the +3 camber setting, TOP SPEED adj. toe arms.
DASHOCKER was the first one i think who fitted this adj toe arms

Does any other IS suspension pieces work on the GS?
Just saw the other thread below so from what it sounds like the toe rod and the traction rod may work

I will also have a set of toe arms for you guys in a month or so featuring higher grade components. Teflon lined ball joints and chromoly tapered studs. The Megans have a weaknes in that the sperical bearing is mounted in a tubular carrier that is then welded to a stud. I have seen this part break at the weld.
here is a rendering of my stud. It will be heatreated 4140 with rolled threads for strength.
Oh and I can also make trac rods for you gus as well. Here they are for the IS300

Yeah, interested in the pricing of both? (hopefully not to much more than the Megan, fingers crossed)
The IS uses the same suspension components in the rear as the GS so what would be different about the trac. rods?
Kinda off topic but how long would it take you to make the control arm and trac. rod once an order is put in?

I will have two different tiers depending on the rod ends used. Pricing for Trac rods is already available at my site www.figsengineering.com Figure $140-$200 a set.
Also, the rear components are not the same as the LCA is longer. So I am going to say that the Trac link is also longer. The Toe link may work, but could be slightly shorter in its nominal length. Be careful about over extending the threads, the rule of thumb is 1.5X the diameter for minumum engagement.
I am currently in the process of ordering more sheetmetal parts to build LCA's and they will be ready in 4 weeks. Typical build time is 1 week if no powdercoating is required, 2 weeks if PC.
