Hey guys, Well I just replaced my tires no my 02 GS3 which is on 20" whee;s (255/30/20 all around now with Toyo Proxes 4) And my old tires wore really badly on the inside due to camber issues.

My L Tuned shocks and springs are really boucny and i Beleive the shocks are blown so I will be getting the new Tein CSTs next week and installing them.

At the same time im thinking about installing the Daizen Sway bays and they're control arm bushing kit.

I bought the car used with 107k and it now has 134k after around 9 months.

Basically I need to know how to identify If i need to replace the businghs/should I do it all now.

Also need to know who has the best prices on Daizen parts.

I do all the work my self so the labor isnt a problem. Also reviews on this stuff beside what I have read and searched for would be great.

Thanks!

At 134k miles, I'd go ahead and swap out the bushings.

Thing is I bought the car with over 107k miles from the orginal owner he always serviced it at lexus but he didnt know what they replaced he just took it there and paid the bill. How can i find out if i need them replaced or not? Also do i replace the lower ball joints with stock ones?

Thanks!

if you are the owner of the car, the Lexus dealership has an electronic, nationwide database of all work done on your car. They should provide that to you free of charge for the asking.

Ok I will check into that, are there aftermarket lower ball joints? or just replace them with stock ones?

Thanks!

I think pretty much everyone is doing the OEM/stock ones. I'm not aware of any aftermarket ones.

Sewell Lexus and Carson Lexus are good sources. Probably TM Engineering too maybe.

I ordered mine along with outer tie-rods from Carson about a week ago. (priced around $64/balljoint, and 44 or so for tie rod) Get your discount.
