Default Ordering stuff from Japan

I found out today that I have a close friend who has a close friend in japan. So I was thinking about getting him to buy parts for me and ship it to the states.

I know many of you are looking to get the TRD bushings which is something I need myself. Depending on price I might just get the parts I need. If you want me to order for you, I can do that as well.

My task is to figure what parts I need for my '02 GS430...from what I've read so far my car is the Aristo S300. I'll be doing some research on the http://www.trdparts.jp/english/top.html website.

If anybody can help me out, it'll be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I'm looking to replace on my car.

Lower Ball Joints - I might just get this from Sewell since their pricing isn't too bad.
UCA Bushing
LCA #1 & #2 Bushings
Outter Tie Rods
Steering Rack Bushings

Theres a site we can order from to get the bushings you're talking of.

I think the site is on my home pc; if I find it at work I'll post it.

Thanks Brian...I read some many threads that I'm kind of lost now...I was originally going to do the Daizen bushings but it seems like different people got different results with them.

I did post that I was going to use that website to do research but mainly my plan was ask if others wanted to order at the same time with me to minimize international shipping fees.
