Did a (few) search(s) and couldn't find anything on a how-to for the 6-pc kit. Anybody have the instructions translated? or their own how-to version?

At a minimum, torque specs and gotchas woul be heplful.

Thanks!

nudder - I haven't installed my 6 link kit yet but from looking under the car. It's bolt off the stock links and bolt on the tom's 6 links.

Reason i haven't installed is because i ran out of time when i did the front lower brace and it got dark.

And there is no specific torque # , so i assume tighten till its tight, or look for the stock torque #'s and use them.

Good luck. You won't need it though.

I could gaurantee there is a specific torque for all the suspension components...I ordered the Vol i and Vol ii set of service manuals for the gs, so I could always have specs handy

I do my own work

(should get them in like a week or so)

Would be interesting if there is anything in there about the six-link... I think it's one of the mods that does not replace factory parts (like a front LCB) and if so I suspect the service manual won't address any specs for it. I may be wrong on that (I took the easy way out and had the dealer put mine on), but for some reason I think that's the case.... I'll see if Manaray or one of the other suspension guru's can clarify if it's a replacement or bolt-on.

All the Tom's stuff (including six link) I've bought have had instructions all in Japanese w/very little pictures - I feel your pain . Can't even go online to translate it like a webpage.

I think Manaray had an install post, but not really a DIY.Click here for a link to that post that might be helpful as it has pictures.

Thanks everybody.

DaveGS4 - nice find!

The pics are almost as good as a how-to. I'll just slightly loosen/crack the nuts and then use a torque wrench to tighten em up a bit to se how tight they were. Assumption is, they were on right.

Looking forward to seeing how planted the rear stays. Regardless, I'll get bored in a month and add the LCB soon enough.

Thanks again.

Dave - The 6 pc is a replacement part. I had the car jacked up , tools in hand to do the job . I located the stock pcs , then ran out of light so i stopped there.

Nudder - I finally had time to look up the torque #'s for you in the manual.

The 4 pc's that are solid is 50nm and the 2 pcs that move is 75nm .

Thanks 1niceride - good to know! That also means the Lexus dealer kept my factory stock link parts, because I didn't get them back after the install. I'm pretty **** about keeping all my stock stuff so I can return to OEM if I want to.

Good luck on finishing up your install. I'm a big fan of mine.
