Note also that my car is stock, not lowered or any of the other crap. My days of throwing money at a car thinking I'll get any of it back are long past.
I also wanted the stock Lexus ride.

whoever thinks they'll get their money out is insane. My other hobby is guns, and in Canada I can re-sell any of my firearms for 90% of new price, that I know, car stuff - you're screwed..

Not a bigger safe, a safe room (walk in vault)

Yes, the set is the left and right as opposed to ordering them seperately.

I did mine, using the included grease and have no squeaks at all.

I did mine at 155k but I didn't receive the history before 90k. Might be worth having somebody check them for you.

I wish there would be a step by step DIY on arm replacement, most that are here are either bushings only or already show everything disassembled, I am not mechanically inclined at all..

Thank you sir. Another question, how do people get their torque wrench in there? Mine is like 24" long...On a side note I might actually have the time to do this now as I finally finished my M4 build
