I checked. The kit is $40, but shipping is $18 plus 9% CA tax ($3.5).

What a ripoff! It is in CA and the shipping is $18 within the state?

Yea, the price suddenly jumps to $60 shipped in California. That's why I ended up ordering the bushings from Sewell instead...

The ones sold on Sewell are made by Armstrong Distributors. They are also made of polyurethane like the daizen ones are. I just saw that someone had purchased these before and said that their results were similar/same as the people who bought the daizen's.

I decided to order from Sewell because they seem to be a more reliable source of products, people seem to have some problems as of late ordering from the TM engineering company. Also, their shipping isn't as expensive, plus you could do what I did and just order a couple extra parts that you'll need anyway, like wiper blade inserts or a custom fit sun shade. Don't forget to log in with your club lexus account on their site to get the discounted prices.

I too was worried when ordering from TME. I tried emailing them a few times back to inquire about things and they never answered but i got lucky and only took a risk with $40. I dont know why they do this.

They might as well close down

He's right.. there have been a number of complaints about them here. There were once an approved vendor. I got mine from Lexus. I hope your transaction goes smooth.
