Hey guys,

Im just gathering interest in buying some parts from figs. As some may know, Figs makes the best hood support gas strut brackets available for the IS300 and their castor/control arm bushes are second to none. If you have been considering some figs products, now is the time.

If there is a decent interest we could get a discount. Available to Australian purchases only shipping out of Sydney is extra.

I will be getting a significant order...

Been doing a little investigating and its not economical to provide a group buy. They wont lower the price for a group buy and the import taxes are going to kill us anyway. I would recommend you make your own order, sorry guys :(

I ordered on the 8th of March, it's the 23rd of April and the parts still haven't arrived yet :(. i think to do it cheaper just go through the my.is group buy and pay shipping on top. massive discounts to be had there.

Just to let you all know I purchased the mega arms and #1 #2 bushings for $674USD + $60USD shipping. I thought it was an extremely good deal for the quality of these parts. Been quoted 2-3 weeks delivery. Will do a write up of my thoughts of the products when they are all installed which will be the day I get the parts since my #2 bushings are as good as sponges at the moment! (Cringing wet days lol)

Wanted the toe links but couldn't justify it right now. The LCA's were more important to me to correct my camber, just hope my eccentric bolts are all in good order.

Did you get a tracking number Wez? Mine was picked up same day so its all up to UPS to deliver on time I guess

Well its a daily and its 100mm of the ground so its pretty bad lol. The eccentric bolts can only adjust so much! Its mostly for adjustability, to minimise flexing in the rear since the stock lca's are crap and to get rid of that bushing configuration replacing it with proper end links. Its such a good alternative to fix so many issues caused by Toyotas economic decisions! Well when my Ball joints are bad ill look into the Toe links aswel. By then they will have the upper rear LCA's made up too for a completely adjustable rear end, can somebody say drift! :)

Wez what does your tracking number status say?

Wow, I always thought these would somehow replace the spherical bearing at the wheel end of the LCA. But they don't.

Unfortunate because those bushes all failed on mine - there was about 2-3mm for free play when I finally located the noise. Had to have some other bearings modified to suit in the end.

None of the aftermarket ones fitted (tried 2 diff ones from supposed reputable manufacturers).
