The Vlamos bushings are now in the steering rack and the front upper control arms, the front lower control arms (Supra TT) are in, and the rear front lower control arms (stock Lexus) are in. End result? Much tighter feel, noticeably stiffer ride with the TT's. Not bad bang for a lot of bucks though.

Congratulations. Do you feel that the front end of the car is less bumpy now than the rear end?

To tell the truth, the front end is so much noticably stiffer, I feel MORE bumps, not less. More rattles, too. Tight, tight, tight!

Thats odd. The car should feel stiffer, but if you changed the upper bushings you should notice an improvment. Check your engine mounts to see if they are too lose. Now that you have the suspension stiff, the engine mounts, if they are lose, are taking a major beating and will diplay that in rattle for example.

I don't think it's the engine mounts, just cabin rattles more than anything due to the stiffer suspension. It's going to the dealer Saturday for some other stuff. I'll have them take a look.
