When replacing LBJ's, this would be the one thing I wouldn't go with OEM. They have a flaw that cause them to go bad prematurely. I would go with Moog. I replaced mine with beck arnley back in Nov. and might have 5k and I have to replace them again. I will be going with moog!!!

Hey. I'm located in the Lehigh Valley area. I live in Allentown but am 10 mins away from Bethlehem and Easton. I would like to throw a nice meeting 1 day. All types of Lexus models. Storm the casinos in Bethlehem HARD lol. Have everyone that attended take alot of pics and upload them all to a forum we can start based on that day. Also, the parking lot there is enormous and PERFECT for photo shots. Lemme know what you think.

THANKS ALOT. I'm quite familiar with Moog products. I have a 1998 Honda Civic CX hatchback and I replaced mainly all the parts in the car from suspension all the way to the engine. Anyway, MOOG is what I used in all my suspension components. Purchased it at my local AAP store with limited lifetime warranty on everything. That is my daily driver to work everyday for the past 3 years and I'd say I've put well over 10k on those ball joints. Last time I got the car aligned, the guy said everything looks in condition. Ima go with MOOG for the Lexus. Thanks for the advice my friend!

Welcome!

I am somewhat new here too. I joined earlier this month. My dad gave me his 00' GS400 for my birthday. So I thought I would join.

Anyway, car looks great.
Can't wait to see what you get done to is.

Beautiful car, looks in great condition. Agreed, search this site, it's incredible how much knowledge there is here. I would leave it stock and be meticulous about maintenance, you could drive it for 10-15 years. The great thing about mods for this car is that you can go mild to wild, there's a pretty good range of parts available. Enjoy your new car, congrats.

Yes, that is exactly what I plan to do. Keep it ORIGINAL. A few modifications but nothing major. The most I might do is put some 18" rims on it, no drop. And I already maintain it meticulously. I'm only 19 right now, turn 20 in March. But I been working on cars with my pops my whole life. So I have a clear idea on how to take care of my car. Soon as I got it, I took it to the dealer to get a diagnostic. Everything came back clear. Then I gave it a complete tune up. Castrol synthetic oil ($10 a quart, the BEST stuff), K&N oil and air filter, Lexus fuel filter, NGK spark plugs (the most expensive ones too), and after that I took it back to the dealer and gotta transmission flush. Baby riding smooth. Just keep it parked home to keep the mileage low you know. Only take it out on my days off and that's like never :-(. But its cool. Anyway, thanks for the love. I appreciate it!
