Get a big breaker bar for the LCA bolts. Mine were very tight.

Visually I didnt notice much of a difference. But I hear they are a little stronger. Could be an urban legend though. You know the old saying, "Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear."

they might just be less expensive going through a toyota dealer rather than a lexus dealer. curious, why are you going to install diazen bushings on brand new control arms? i guess it would make sense if you want a firmer ride, but i would also guess that people would prefer rubber bushings if they were available instead of the polyurethanes.

im looking to maximize performance, comfort is second. as for parts price, yes buying a toyota part will mostlikely cost less than buying it from lexus.

are you 100% sure they will fit?? i did a good amount of research and came to the conclusion that the supra lca's wont interchange with sc300 lca's.


i would like to know how this turns out for you.

You must have not done your research well... there are many people on these forums who are using Supra LCAs. Mostly because they are less expensive then their lexus counterparts, and secondly because the bushings in them provide a more firm ride. However, only the Supra Front LCAs fit, nothing else.

They changed the bushings for the Lexus to make the ride better, they were weak, and wore out quickly.

would this be cheaper to replace OEM lexus with daizen bushing, and not ordering supras' lca? I heard supras' are the same.
