Hey Guys,

Finally!!

After almost 7 weeks I have received the TRD Sways, Lower Brace, Front STB and Tom's Racing Rear STB.

Now here's the good news for you guys, after getting a call stating that the parts were going up, they actually went down!! I have verified my invoice and I'm passing it on to the CL members

This seems to be due to the fact that TRD has started to "stock them" also after all this time. They have seen the tremendous value and sales volume increase because of CL. Looks like they made a better deal with Poweraxle ( Works Tuning) for the product

You can thank the members who have bought them for the last 1 1/2 years ( who paid more, sorry) in bringing this to the forefront. They have enjoyed these hard to get TRD suspension pieces before TRD realized how viable they were.

Here's the new pricing:

TRD Front & Rear Sways-$499.00
TRD Lower Brace-$145.00
TRD Front STB-$170.00
Tom's Racing Rear STB-$ call

I'll be in contact with everyone on the list, give me some time to sort out the shipment. I do have some extra sets so e-mail me what you would like.

See, Steve is DA MAN! He could have easily just pocketed the difference (would any of us have even known?) but instead, he passes it on to Club Lexus member...that's dope!

Hey, I paid more, but whatever, at least now, maybe TRD will pay some more attention to the Lexus market over here in the US!

Damn, those prices are killer...like $20 to $50 less per item!

Why doesn't L-Tuned include all these parts on their supposidly "fixed up" cars?

Any word on the Steering ECU?

Now you know why we like Steve.

I gave up with GT after pathetic service.

2Lexos - Those parts are for the newer body style (JZS-16x) GS's...they will not fit the older (JZS-14x) style GS's...

However, there is a lot of suspension parts for the older GS's.

Carbing makes a front strut tower bar for the JZS-14x GS...it's their "Type R" STB...also, two companies, ARC and J&K make sway bars.

Also, I have been investigating the need for STB's (front and rear) for various Lexus models so let me ask you a question...(also, please take the poll).

What would you be willing to pay for a top quality front and rear STB? For comparison, the front STB from TRD now costs $170 and is made of heavy tube steel...a rear STB ranges in the same price...

I don't think so because shipping costs vary depending on where you are. Either way, Steve's shipping charge was minimal to me in Atlanta.
