Thank you all. Haven't been on CL in a while, I haven't really done anything to the gs, Painted the grill black, iI think it looks way better then how it was before.


Yesterday my FL lower ball joint took a **** on me. Luckily the roads were covered in ice here in Chicago and, the car just slid. The ball joint since has been replaced but it got me thinking. Does anyone know if energy suspension makes ball joints and bushings and does anyone know of a company that makes after market control arms? coming from the drift scene all that was available for my 240, I did a quick search and couldn't really find anything. little help would be much appreciated.

some pics of yesterday.

That's the pic all of us 2GS drivers dread to see. Were those the original LBJs? For our cars, if you go aftermarket on the ball joints, you may face the same result. OEM is your best option. Others on here will tell you Moog. SPC or one of FIGS products are the best reliable options out there

What's up guys? Haven't been on cl in quite some time. No new major updates to the gs. I've been dealing with some legal issues.

got some yellow fogs and led lp lights.

But I plan on getting stance coils, I really liked them on my old car plus they're local. For wheels I'm leaning towards mb battles (18x9.5 15). I think they're a great bang for my buck. Haven't see too many gs' with them.
