So Lexus wants 1200 bucks to replace my lower arms. Are there any aftermarket arm/bushing kits that fit 98 gs300? everywhere I go they tell me I have to go to Lexus because they can't find any with their resources.

Second on RockAuto for Moog parts.
If this is the LCA that you need then RA carries it for Moog. $112 a side. https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/mor...048&cc=1316103
If not if you're needing the caster arm, then i'd PM Aliga and see if he can find you a used set with good bushings then you can install yourself and save about 1k.

Haha I'm no guru man! If anyone is it's Sakataj when it comes to suspension. I appreciate it though.
No problem man!
This is also another route. Only reason this makes it a bit more difficult is cause you have to spend money on pressing in bushings if you don't have a press or know how, but definitely another alternative.
If you do look to press bushings though FIGS sells spherical bushings for the caster arm. They're 275 for a set but it'll last you longer than rubber ones if you're lowered or anything. If you're stock then it probably won't be worth it as much.

i don't want to start a new thread for this,
but while browsing rock auto i saw those drilled/slotted rotors. and i read on club lexus that i can swap the front calipers with ls40.
are the rotors worth it?
will i need special brake pads for those rotors?
will i need ls400 brake pads?
