I can confirm those FIGS adjustable work great! I'm only dropped 1.8 all around and those FIGS come in handy for proper sway bar preload.
I'm actually in the market for a set of figs. Thank you for commenting because I was unsure.
@@LoveStarDistrict No problem
I went with the OE style they offer.. waiting for them to come in hoping I made the correct decision.
@phatmiike I started to get them, they are similar to what's in this video
Great tip great channel. I learn something every time.
Great video, just curious how did you know these would work on the GS?
My friend figured it out, but he has coilovers. So I rolled the dice.
Love it. Always finding new innovative upgrades for the 2nd gen gs. I'm on bilstein shocks with tein shocks on 20 in rims with 30 series tires. I was planning to fender roll if i did this. So we're talking a 3/4" drop.
So I’m lowered with a Megan racing rear sway bar, aftermarket rear control arms and toe arm and my OEM replacement rear links snapped on me on the stiffer setting, gonna try this to see if it resolves but if not definitely gotta get the figs engineering adjustables ill update
Just bought a 98 gs400 , mint condition, re-done with black interior, has muffler delete , slowly re-doing maintenance parts as what you’re doing. Love the channel, new subscriber also . 🫶
Welcome to the club!
Please make more of the ironsight video
I️ have Megan coilovers on and was wondering if I️ should go this route or figs
Depends on your drop. If it’s 1” or less, then these are great. If it’s more and you adjust the ride height often, adjustable FIGS would be best.
Just wondering do you have ppe headers installed? Have seen them online but don’t know if they are worth it.
No I don’t. They wouldn’t sponsor me. 😆. You need an AFC and AFR gauge to street tune at a minimum for headers to be worth it.
Hi friend. Will these fit with stock springs/shock (stock height) and aftermarket sway bar?
If you’re stock height I would keep stock length links. To answer your question yes, these will fit, but it may not be ideal.
Did you change the front sway bar links as well to IS
No
Im sure you've mentioned it in a previous video but approximately how much did you lower your GS? I think it would help give folks a good idea if they should go with these ISF end links vs fully adjustable end links
2”F, 1.2”R. I mentioned the rear drop in this vid. I think a lot of people completely ignore endlinks when they lower their car, which is unfortunate. I have done the same thing honestly. This mod is a good one for OEM+ “sport” suspension guys like me, but it also shows how to do the job if someone went adjustable. Or, if they need to saw an old one off 😆.
Have you changed your subframe and differential bushings?
No, but my friend did. NVH became a concern.
@@ForwardMomentum I have Superpro and I have no NVH problems. I do have the softest ones. My mechanic used some sought of marine grease that I've never heard of. Glad I did because I've heard of people having squeaking issues .
I’ll be doing complete front and rear StrongFlex Sport bushings on my Drift GS, again hoping I made the right decision lol. Squeaking would drive me nuts
@@phatmiike Heavy on the grease!!! Lol
@ForwardMomentum Back, again lol. Do you recall having a problem putting that lower part of the front end link back into the lower control arm?
Have changed your upper oil pan
No, sorry.
I recently got a 2001 lexus gs 430 and as my first car love how it starts but after couple days my key wasnt turning and im stuck between lock and acc , also my wheel is locked all the way to right , any suggestions?
Make sure P is engaged. Or try N.
My rear lower control arm bushing needs replacing, do you have a video on that bro?
Not yet, sorry!
