  1. I understand your point, the problem to keep speedo accuracy within 3% with a 55 profile I would need to use 205/55-17 and almost no one makes this size and its very expensive. Even with these 225/50 I still have a 1% error. The perfect 17" match on this LS is 235/45-17 wich IMO looks dumb... Oh and BTW I got the tires almost free with the rims :P I will post a pic when I install my chrome grill inserts :D Thanks guys
  2. Thanks guys ! OH did I mention the car is not washed loll !! only the rims. The Dunlops ? I love them, Man the car handles like 3X like it did with MXV4 stock. The body is much more stable, its crazy. The best Is I lost 0 Confort. Its all good :D I would love to drop it but I drive the car all year and here we have like 3-4 months of deep snow and ice and salt and all that *BLEEP*....
  3. I thaugh I'd show my LS, I've been member for almost a year but never uploaded any pics. This weekend I just installed GS350 17" rims + Dunlop SP Sport 5000 OEM Runflat tires in 225/50-17 flavour. Yes, my car as 95 000km thats 60 000miles its a 1991. :D
  4. Arnott Industries Sells new remnufactured ones with lifetime warranty. I can't feeback, I have regular springs but I have used there Upper Control arms and I highly recommend them. http://www.arnottindustries.com/part_LEXUS...yid7_pid46.html
  5. Or if anyone can confirm they are the same size has the 95-97 ? Thank you
  6. Does anyone know the size of the OEM sway bars ? Thank you
  7. No it is not, correct me if I am wrong, only 93+ had available air suspension. Anyways, here in Canada LS400's never had air suspension.
  8. Update All I can say, is I am stunned, I went to get it aligned this afternoon, the front was pretty good; Caster= OK, Camber= a bit off (left+0.3 right+0.6) but easily within specs, Toe was OK too but we still put it at perfect angle. We havent found a way to ajust Camber, even the LCA cam does nothing, it just plays whit the toe. The guy told me that with the readings we had there was no way this would make the car steer to the right. We checked all ball-joints and bushings and no loose at all !!! I really wanted to solve the problem so I told them to check the rear too, the rear Toe was a bit off of spec but still not enaugh to alter the driving.... that cost me 70 $CAD and the problem was'nt even solved, we tried the car and still steered to the right !?! He told me to change the front tires left to right vice versa and try it that way, its a common problem with used tires, so I went home and tied it and guess what.... That was it !!!! Conclusion -The Arnott UCA do seem to be manufactured whitin OEM specs. -Never trust Used tires....

  10. I got a flat on the cheap tires the guy before put on, yesterday I baught 2 used Michelin MXV4 Plus and put them in the front and I went for a ride, the alignement is terrible, it pulls to the right like crazy, I called to get it done today at 3h30, I can't wait to see the tech will be able to find some looses, I checked myself (I have a mechanics degree) and found nothing, I'm pretty sure the allignment is off because off the UCA.... I'll keep you guys informed...
  11. Ask them about it, i'm sure they are in the way of producing some. @mastertech: Please report back when you get them, I want to know if they are the same as mine, thanks.
  12. REVIEW I just Installed them this afternoon. There are a few odd things about them, the cast iron part seems do have been sandblasted and painted (rebuilt), I thaught so until I put the old one on the new ones and they have different shape in the casting roundness and bushing holes are narrower on the new ones. Left me a bit puzzled. I think they still work pretty well. Pros -Value, what can I say, they are darn cheap !!! $199US for both (I paid almost 300CAD because of shipping, I took UPS next day $60). -Brand new bushings and ball-joint. -OEM style bushings, keeps comfort, no skweeking after a while like Daizen ones. -Lifetime warranty (not sure about this one) maybe... Cons -Says NEW on the site, the arms don't look so new to me but for the price what can I say. -Had to hammer then in, pins are a bit too long. -Ball-joints don't look greased enaugh. -Missing 1 dust boot, I took an old one from my arms, this would be my only real complaints against them. Since the ball-joints on my old ones where good, I have a pair of spaire arms to try other bushings, Nice ! I do recomend them, I think they should last a while, anyways you could buy almost 4 sets before getting to the price OEM ones. I still have a bit of clunking in the front, maybe lower ball-joints or lower bushing, I will be in better way of evaluating the Arnott upper arms when all the front end will be repaired. Thank you PL
  13. Are you guys aware of this !!! I just ordered a set this morning, very good service, life time warranty (if properly installed) 90-92: http://www.arnottindustries.com/part_LEXUS...d46_gid421.html 93-94: http://www.arnottindustries.com/part_LEXUS...d65_gid422.html I paid almost 300CAD because of shipping (I live in Quebec, Canada) its still very cheap !!!
