As the title says. I have an ES300 with adjustable ride control and after 154k miles, it's time to swap them out. I was pretty shocked at seeing the price for these struts. Where have you all purchsed yours from in the past? How much should I be looking to pay and how much time should I be paying for install?

Thank you in advance.

If your on a budget and don't care for the adjustable feature, just replace them with regular struts from the ES300 without AVS. Nothing bad will happen, no dash lights will come on, etc. The system will just be dysfunctional.

Good place to get them is Sewell Lexus, they give a discount to Club Lexus members:

I also need to replace my rear EM struts. We like ride control so we're sticking with electronic struts. After some research, we located a list of OEM parts suppliers at oemparter.com. You can do a search by part number, which gives you a list of online suppliers and respective prices. Since I haven't done business with any of these suppliers yet, I can't make a specific recommendation. I'm seeing prices as low as $380's; but shipping will add to that.

Are you certain about the no dash light? Upon my research that AVS light turns on and I will not be able to utilize traction control. Or is this more of a 97-2001 issue? Very limited information is available on the 2002-2003.
