Adjustable toe arms?
Does anybody know if any other Lexus's have the same rear toe control arms? Particularly the IS? There were some for sale on ebay that said they were for the IS and GS, I think they were Top Speeds? There isn't any for sale at the time for the GS but a ton for the IS and SC.
I also heard Megan made some for the GS, does anybody know for sure?
Thanks ahead of time!

Really? I thought they were good? Does anybody have any experience with there parts failing? I have megan springs and haven't had any problems, but they are springs..
Anyway I found out that the 01 body style IS300 has the same rear suspension as the GS!! I looked at the part numbers on Sewell. So that means adjustable toe arms!!

I came from the 240 scene and to be very honest with you, DO NOT BUY THEM! I've seen pictures of tie rod ends stripping off. Luckily for those guys, they heard popping noises and what not and check only to find many threads on the tie rod ends stripped.
Stick with brand name (i.e. Tein, Bilstein, Tanabe) Dunno who else is good for our cars, but please dont buy that taiwan replica crap.
Oh yeah, Megan replicates Apexi structure, but internal settings etc are way off.

Nothing wrong with Megan stuff, use them all the time on 240's Toyota and Lexus.. Most of the beef is people that payed more for top name parts look down on the cheaper stuff.

when u buy big name products, u dont pay for the BRAND, u pay for the quality and RnD that is put into it. megan just copies others products and puts the cheapest amount of money into replicating it. their pillowball joints are a joke. those that defend megan are blinded by their purchases.

think i can weld these too? mr tie rod ends for s chassis.
put these in on saturday, broke on wednesday. this is the side that their heim joint threads into. i threaded the heim in as far as it could, that tightened down the lock nut.
the hole is now oval, and the threads ripped out. thank god i felt a wobble in the steering (i think thats from when the metal started stretching) and as i was making a right turn in a parking lot after slowing down, the end ripped completly out of the sleeve.
not to mention the heims themselves have a lot of play in them. this is after less then a week, and less the 500 miles.

So i've got some megan coilovers, and they are sweet. So i decide what better way to top it off than with some megan ruca's. Y'know camber adjustment, woo. So i get them in the mail and one is good, but the other is not even frikken welded up all the way (see pic). Now keep in mind, this is from megan racing, a respected? company that has to upkeep safety and quality standards. It's bull**** right?
but it gets better. long story short i send them back, wait frikken forever to get a new "good" set. And when i get them, again, one is good, but more bull**** from the other. The links are threaded wrong so to adjust them you must unbolt the arm, and the threads are significantly shorter that the other good arm.
I'm not going to put these things on my car, i've already contacted megan AGAIN. It's frustrating and stupid. If you have these, or are getting them be cautious because appearently they have no control over quality.
