i received an email from ast. it seems like they only rebuild ast and moton shocks. They do not do air bags :/

i had my fingers crossed on this one. I don't even mind shipping overseas to japan if i had to.

So I think my shocks are beginning to give out. I am still looking for a place that does wonders and perhaps can rebuilt the air shocks ..but so far no luck.

Again, I heard back from ast-usa.com and they said they only rebuild Moton shocks.


It would amazing to keep the car 100% OEM instead of have to convert to coils..for a practical cost.

Do you think there is a place you can source them in Japan?

Or have them rebuilt here in the states? - or where ever at this point.

600usd per oem shock is really cheap. no, really!

For an air shock? Where is that?

Lynzoid

haven't checked sewell, but i'm sure it's pretty close.
in moscow from toyota supplier - 19.000rub each, which is just little bit more than 600usd.

edit: wow, checked sewell - 999 is a club price for front ones... what a ripoff.. come to moscow i'll get you shock much cheaper!

tobe1424

wow around $600 is not bad at all..this would cut the cost almost in half..certainly more adequate than $999

so when are we going to moscow

let me know if you can source something in moscow...or where ever. I have plenty of folks asking this same question in my part of town.

well, if you want i can try to ship some. but i got one rear spare lying around and i am not sure if post will accept box of this size... otherwise shipping alone can take the fun out of this idea...

Did ya call Arnottindustries, they show the 400 and 470 maybe they have a solution or know a competitor? Lst time I looked they where like 300 and do alot of brands. Maybe they are no good?

Arnott will not rebuild, nor do they have a replacement air strut for LS430.
I picked up a used set of OEM front + rears off Ebay $700.
