That's no surprise. Tokico and KYB (Kayaba) both make OEM shocks.

Is that good or bad? Is that the sports suspension or the regular?

I find the stock non-sport rolls too much. Maybe I should have gotten the sport. Oh wells....

Look on the shock tubing, there is a sticker, and thank goodness that it's tokico and not kyb that makes our shocks, I have the 18" rims also and suspension feels good, to me handles ok,

but go about 80 mph and nail the brakes, then you'll say, crap time to get springs and shocks

but I'll wait until koni or eibach or tokico comes out with some performance shocks before I change my springs

Hehe I'm too use to BMW Sport Suspesion with Active Roll Stabilization and since the IS replaced a MINI with Sport suspension Plus... a bone jarring ride... they dont roll at all! so comparing that to the Stock non-sport Lexus suspension its a HUGE difference.
