If you are looking for OEM replacements, probably wanna contact Curt from Elmhurst Toyota or someone from Carson Toyota (closer to you). Another good one is Sewell Lexus. Their prices seem really reasonable to the general public.

EDIT: (I meant Sewell Lexus)

Aliga is definitely a great source and we are blessed to have him on this forum. Many times, there is no point in paying dealer prices for something that could be purchased used.

However, since you are talking about buying suspension parts (I am assuming control arms, struts, etc.), it would be much safer buying them new since these components wear out over time.

im with...and without 97 sc300 here. his points are always valid. only contrast i say is buy used suspension arms ( i have them locally dont expect the same exact price as the junkyard from me) then purchase new bnib bushings. push/press them yourself or have local shop with press do it.

youll have better than brand new arms for 1/3rd the price


and cant go wrong with aliga if youre not local
