Haha, yeah i abandoned the idea... i think the "chinking" would be the last of my problems, i think my missus wud leave me!

Mike_B, not sure if its national... by the size of the stock they had there (Nottingham branch) i would have thought yes it would be... Check out your local Dunelm... haha sound like a ruddy advert now!! You are indeed correct mate, sorry I should of explained it a tad better... They are infact 75W equivalents only consume 14W of power and are a warm white colour, not bad at all.... 10,000hrs use... according to the box Aww now thats an idea! :D Hey it would be pretty bespoke... dont think anyone else has one!! Haha... i think HIDs would be too bright for chandelier bulbs mate :winky:

Yeah i've been looking into C-Ones but they seem to be as illusive as all the other ARBs apart from the Cusco which everyone seem to have, but not conviced by them... but would be open to new info (like handling) regarding them...

Right that settles it.. the man from TTE he say no more! :( Just waiting now for the man from TDi to get back to me on a price for the TRD ARBs... so yet again we play the waiting game!!

Hey guys, Myself and the Missus were out shopping for "house stuff" in Dunelm today when we came across a shining example of a glowing deal! :winky: (sorry will stop the light bulb jokes :shutit: ) 10 OSRAM energy saving light bulbs for just £1 So loving a good deal when i see one i bought 20x 70w energy saving bad boys for 2 whole sovereign pounds!! Happy Shopping!!

I've been emailing them, but the Sales office staff seem to be "Out of the Office" till friday which is a tad irritating... but i will be chasing them up wen they return... Thats what i thought mate, so i'll wait and see if TTE get back to me if not then go down the TDi route... Yeah please do buddy, :D the Cusco one seem to be easiest to get hold of.. however i was wondering how they handled as they have quite a high stiffness on the front bar... hope they work as i might get some if they do... Yeah i thought about that option buddy, but wasn't sure where TDi were sourcing them from... and import duty/tax is shockingly expensive at the mo.. . i was looking at get hold of a pair of Hotchkis from the states but shipping them over and taxing them doubled the price of the orignal bits of kit!!!

Kool, i'll let you know as soon as i hear anything. Haha, no worries mate... this wasn't a reminder just an idea i'd had... Really they "seemed" pretty good on the phone, however i haven't actually bought anything from them yet... I emailed the TTE sales ream but had no response as yet... might send another... but its looking like they no longer make them... which is atad rubbish They do indeed, but I believe he has to order them so unsure on prices for those...

Hey guys, In my quest to buy a set of ARBs for my Lexus i discovered Eibach/TTE ARBs are no longer available... not even from Eibach themselves as i emailed them, however the legends at TDi had a hunt round and offered two suggestions: Cusco ARBs for round £350 +vat TRD ARBs (not sure which colour need to talk to TDi), which would be shipped in from Japan... not sure on price but not far off the price of the Cusco one... (but don't quote me on that tho, haha) Now i was wondering what the level of interest from you guys would be to buying a set of TRD ARBs from TDi... hoping that if the interest level is high enough TDi might take note... Just a query FiZiX

hell ye!!!!!!! sport wins!!!the reason 3 letters LSD. B) wee spoiler looks good, the lex looks a bit odd without it. I have to agree with the Hell Yeah, I love my Sport don't find it tacky at all... love the LSDiff too!! Sport all the way! :winky:

Fair play... ^_^ Kool, cheers for the info, how much was it to fit them?? Did they have to replace any of the drop links??

Kool, thanks for the link mate.

Thanks stav, yeah i was looking to get some from the US a set of HOTCHKIS sway bars... Never bought anything from over seas... Slightly off topic but do you know how much you have to spend before your hit with import duty, and how much it is?? specialised questions i know but i'm sure people off the forum have bought things from across the pond.. cheers

Haha winner... looks like you beat me to the post on getting the last TTE ARBs from TDi... :tsktsk: Haha... Do you know if the same ARBs fit both IS200 and IS300, i wouldn't of thought there was much difference in suspension setup?? Any info on this would great...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, unfortunately Milton Keynes were unable to help me... nevermind. TDi are currently hunting round for some ARBs for, hats off to them. Been looking around myself... excuse my ignorance does anyone know if IS200 and IS300 use the same ARBs... Cheers

Hey Hando, are you sourcing your Hotchkis ARBs from America or are there europe based suppliers... Have you any prices or web links... Cheers

What happened to the Cusco ARBs you sourced from Prolex on Ebay mate??

Rubbish!!! Been ringing round for some ARBs.. Lexus Dealerships no longer make or supply their kits!!! I rang TDi and they sold the their last TTE ARBs on friday!!! And apparently they have now been discontinued. Where are they still available??? anyone have any great ideas mine are drying up fast!! Cheers

Thanks for the info Steve, sounds like a good plan for the drop links.... I'm not to sure i want to be messing around with the whole understeer/oversteer issue, i'm just looking for a set of ARBs that will improve the cars cornering ability, reducing roll... As far as i'm aware now there are only 3 types of ARBs i could get my hands on... TTE, Cuscos and C-One... The impression i get readin the threads are TTE sound like there very similar to OEM and won't have a noticable effect... so it down to the Cuscos and C-One... I can get the Cusco for £299 or is it really worth splashing out on the C-One at £401?? Am i gonna feel the difference in normal driving???

Kool, Nottingham is still a live and kicking place!! Haha... Well was thinking as my missis lives near Sheffield so was gonna drop it into Russell to fit them... as i'm sure he'll do a good job.

Haha winner, you seem to know quite alot about the dealerships round my way... i take it you used to live round here? Its done just over 60K, and recently had its service which hurt my wallet... alot!! I hear new bushes are a good idea?? I'm very tempted to go for the Cusco Bar on Fleabay, seems a tad too good to be true tho....

Its all becoming slowly clearer now, thanks for the advice guys ;) Got my K&N panel filter en-route and reading around on the ARBs I read the ARBs thread (thanks Stevewevie) and it mentioned (by edeath) that WIM could fit them is that still true?? Also had a quick look online and yet again Fleabay came up with these beauties or do my eyes deceive me... Cusco Bars for £299 The ARBs thread also mentioned replacing your drop links both front and rear and new bushes... would i be able to get a decent set from the Lexus dealership?.. or do i need to shop around for those too?? Sorry to be asking so many questions, i'd just like to know i'm getting the best out of my money as ARBs aren't cheap... Cheers

Cheers for the heads up Aido, please excuse my ignorance... what do you mean by TDi?? Is PZ439-C0722-00 the code for the TTE bars?? Slightly confused mate
