My 2008 is350 on continental Dw06 extreme sport runs like a dream
Reviews of spare parts for Lexus
I did kyb factory replacement shocks with the original springs and on my '08 ES350 and it rode like a dream. It was a little taller however until the shocks calmed down.
I’m literally taking a break from installing the aisin kit in my 2001 right now. Just got everything off and started on installing the new water pump. Kit seems complete and good quality.
Instead of replacing my brakes and rotors with OEM, I went with Akebonos (ceramic brake pads) and it’s shocking how much bite there is. Like I have to raise up my brake pedal at every red light or else I lurch forward. Also did a brake fluid flush.
Slap some EBC RedStuff or YellowStuff Pads on & you'll change your mind quickly.
GX brake cylinders are a 3 in 1 unit. I was quoted $2,700 for a new part from Toyota on my GX470.
Just last year I switched out the original Yokohama tires for Pirelli and this year I switched out the original front brake pads. My mechanic said the rear pads still has life in them so deal with it next time. I thought it would cost a lot, but it was just Toyota parts so price was $120 or so.... and its going to be another 10 years before needing another change assuming similar driving habits.
I bought these for my Lexus replacing latitudes, went to Lexus got an alignment, put it on the road to Tennessee probably 4-500 ish miles one way. They were pretty grippy on the back roads, but highway driving was just to loud for me. So I took them back within the 1000 mile guarantee, when I got back from Tennessee and got a new set of latitudes. They are good tires for sure but they are also directional tires so that's where you get the bit of road noise. But they do have hella grip.
Did a gates kit on mine. Water pump is leaking after 60k miles.
These are absolute JUNK. 35k miles on a well maintained Lexus RX 450h with normal driving - they are toast. We were going to change them in July because they are to the wear bars - except one bubbled a sidewall and blew while sitting in the parking lot today.
