As for installation... I drove the car up on ramps and removed the brace, then jacked the car up from the center and had both the ramps and jack stands as safety precautions. The pictures are for a 400 I believe so the 10mm shown is a little more of a pain to work around on the drivers side, but the instructions were flawless and made for an easy time.
Thanks again

installed mine this past weekend. It was an easy install, but it was just freaking uncomfortable working down there with just jackstands on the car. I'm pretty sure on a lift it would be so easy. Very satisfied.

Got mine installed today.
I thought my steering was really good,
but now it is absolutely ***********ing incredible.
Razor sharp is a good definition.
WOW!
Very good, no great mod. Everyone should do this.
The price is right and the results are spectacular

I drove about 200 miles on freeways and back roads yesterday.
I am impressed beyond belief with how the cars steering response is now.
What a joy to drive this car. Just the slightest touch on the steering wheel and the car goes in that direction. This mod really blows me away

Also, can anyone tell me whether it might be worthwhile to replace the OEM steering rack bushings with new OEM bushings. My 90k is coming up, and I think I may have my tech put in some new ones.

I'm sure it would help a little e.
I'm still not sure if Ivan likes them or not
I'm going to have to get these one of these days. Are you guys greasing them or not necessary?

Chuck -- Unlike the LCA Daizen bushings, I can't see how these could possibly firm up the ride. It's just that you know how I am about aftermarket stuff. Either way, whether it be Daizen or OEM, I'm sure Lexus could swap them out in a matter of minutes.

No I went to a shop. Took them just short of 45 minutes.
I think my car is incredible how it handles at this point.
Just recently switched from Daizen Sways to TRD's and I'm loving it.
Throw in RMM SC, JIC MAGIC Coilovers, all the Toms Braces, plus TC and LSD
