Ok so back to the drawing board on the proper front suspension setup:
I have decent supposedly OEM quality UCAs on my car now but I can feel them kind of giving a little play (I think but I could also need my tires balanced) nonetheless I am going for coilovers soon and it was recommended that I inspect all these things before trying to see how low I can go. My main concerns being UCAs and LBJs. Should I go for the Ikeya Formula ones here:

or should I go with the direct OEM replacements:

I've heard Ikeya Formula are the shiznit and all that but of course OEM is best; BUT i'm trying to figure out why the hell these two IF arms are cheaper than the OEM arms? Someone please help.

OEM . All the R&D Toyota does to make sure these parts are safe is the worth it for me.

get the ikeya's. it allows adjustment of camber and caster.
aftermarket is better on this item. oem sucks

wow. and we get a discount on those through club lexus? you have the link for the SPC UCAs? because I know those are legit. the ones I got are a little shifty

I do want the Ikeya's. but i have seen posts saying they are too harsh for daily driving. I just want something that will last more than 2 years.

if you want to retain some ride quality, do not buy the ikeyas. they are very stiff and rigid, essentially for drift/road race use. Brand new OEM arms will be fine. I would also not recommend poly bushings if you plan on slamming the car as they can crack and tear.

I would recommend this setup:

New OEM CAs, Balljoints, Tie rod ends, front and rear RCAs and the SPC camber kits. That should handle just about anything you throw at it.
