I got mine by skulking around the For Sale areas here and on LOC...

Other than that you could try and find out from Lexus/Toyota what the cost is for the TRD ARBs new (if they still sell them) - Think only TTE was shut down - Certainly I know other TRD parts can be bought brand new from Toyota :biggrin:

Ooh thats interesting. Wasn't there two types of TRD ARB, a red and a yellow?

What's a good price for new or 2nd hand? I've seen TDI have some Eibach ones for sale at £340, but considering most people seem to run TRD or Hotchkis it makes me think that the Eibach are either over-priced or too close to stock?

Red (and Eibach IIRC) were TTE ARBs, the TRD ones are yellow and slightly stiffer than the reds.

I paid £150 plus postage for my ARBs, and think I got a good deal on them Smile

BTW has anyone here done Coilovers THEN ARB's in that order? Just wondering if I will notice anywhere near as much difference in handling considering I'm already on coilies?
