Does anyone have some for sale i am looking to buy

Lets see it! How low did you go? I am siriously getting altitude sickness from my ride Please help!!!!!

No i am still dealing with it, i need to get them turned to see if it is a real break nighmare but i only think that it is a warped rotor. When you changed out your old brakes did you blead the system on each wheel you worked on? With rational thinking there can be only 2 options for this vibration 1. Lack of pressure due to air in the brakelines 2. Warped rotor I dont have enough cash to get mine rotors turned right know so i am waiting a little while longer. If you figure it out please post what you did to make it better. Thanks, PS i tried to post pictures but the web site would not allow it. I have a photo of the new drilled and slotted rotors in the gallery.

Look around i know that there is info on this, But i am not sure where it is located. I saw some pictures of the process when i was finding info on replacing my powersteering unit. Can anyone else help?

WTF who carries this crap so i can stay as far away from it as possible

I have an 93 GS and my 20's fit fine. I think that most go with, 19's and a lowering kit, best ride most power to wheels and overall look is great. I on the other hand could have probably fit 22's with no suspension adjustment and maybe a little rubbing on the inner fender wells. Make sure the width of the rims can fit against you upper A-Arm of your suspension if not get some spacers. If i was you i would find a way , I love my 20's. they are a little more squirrelly then smaller rims but you get used to it. good luck and no matter what you got a lexus!

I installed my new used Aristo Bumper on my Car a few weeks ago and to my dismay it keeps stripping those crapy plastic atachment pieces closest to the wheel. any ideas for what i can do to lock it place other then just getting new bolts to go through the holes and fasten it that way. Also IF you had my car what would you do next?

good luck on findong out what it is. If it is coolent in the cylinders look at your oil if it is cloudy brown most likley a blown head gasket. I also say get the hell away from those dealerships. Most of the time they are low level tech's. Take it to a performance shop they will be able to tell you whats wrong and not bend you over while doing it. Plus the same guy might be able to install that new turbo'd motor you wanted anyway. PLease keep us posted on what the outcome is.

I did, I blead the brakes this weekend and it is about 50% better then it was. but still vibrates around 40-30 on braking. I think i may need to turn the rotor. any other thoughts?

I wanted to know the diff between the Grill from a second gen GS300 and First . Can these be swapped? also i am looking to get a header for my GS3 and was wondering the power gain from some one who has actually done this themself, Can anyone help with an answer?

Just got slotted and drilled rotors. Installed all 4 after work this weekend. Now i have a vibration coming from the front. Do you think it is air in the system. It does not pull when braked and it only happens on braking around 40 -30 mph. Any ideas or suggestion to what it might be? PS. i had to already test them for real when a BMW ran a stop sign, I slammed the brakes which worked better then i expected and saved my front end. the best thing was my 3 yr old boy saying sweet Brakes daddy after that !Removed! in the beemr about killed my ride. It was right on Q and too classic, kids are great. I will post some pics of the new brakes. I also painted the Calipers. Does any one know where to get small lexus stickers that i can put on the calipers, i have not looked but i dont think i could find them if i did. any ideas?
