Why don't you call Exact Motorsports to see what they charge. They have been selling and Installing the Daizen bushings in Lexus for 4+ years now and they have it down how to do it quickly, so whatever they charge should be reasonable.

If you're looking to press in the Daizen control bushings, that's not an easy task unless someone has done it on a Lexus before. These bushings were not originally designed to be replaced, so they don't come out with simple hand tools. There are several different "tricks" that people use to get them out, some are more painful processes than others. Then you would still need to have access to use a press to get the new ones in, since I'm sure most people do not have a press at home.

Before Daizen came out with this bushing kit, the only way to get new bushings was to buy new upper and lower control arms, which current market price is around $1150, plus the labor to put them in.
Exact quoted to remove upper & lower arms, press out old and press in 8 new bushings, then re-install the 4 upper & lower arms for $500 labor.
I'll estimate that's about 8-10 hours labor time for most people to DIY at home.
I do almost all the work on my GS that I've been modding for 10 years, but I find no joy doing this particular job, so personally, I'd rather pay to have it done.
If you prefer to do it yourself or can find someone to help you, more power to ya.
