very nice mate, get the arbs as soon as you can they are fantastic, ive had my hotchkis ones for 2 years now and they change the ride so much, i also fitted a front top brace this weekend and that combined with the arbs makes it 10 times better again it is so tight now its perfect, very much worth the money.
also keep sam (purplewitch) happy and get lots of pics of the supra up too,

Yea can't wait, should take about 2 weeks. I was looking for a front brace but some people said it won't make much difference and I read it can rub on the engine or bonnet and cause vibration.
I'm thinking about going to the Jap Show at Santa Pod next week, not sure yet.

i wasnt sure how much difference the tower bar would would create but combined with the hotchkis arbs and i do also have hks coilovers the car was bouncing over white lines on the roads it really has tightened up completely and you can feel the suspension working properly, and the steering is so more responsive, there is a bit of rubbing that needs to be looked on the intake but we've pulled the intake down with zipties till i can get a bolt hole fixed but i dont think its a huge problem for now at least.
come along to the pod its a brilliant weekend.

What make is your front brace? Where did you get it?
I'll have a look though I spent quite a lot already in the last few weeks :p
Spotted quite a few from the Lexus Owners Club on here.
