Default REAR SHOCKS REPLACEMENT & lexus care program

Is there a post on how to replace ur rear shocks. I ran over a curve a while back one of my rear shock is dead, leaked. I just ordered 2 new tokico shocks gonna work on it this weekend. Any advise would help.

Also, I received a letter from Lexus about the LEXUS care program. Pistons redone blah blah under warranty. Has any one just taken their car in just without ur car misfiring?. My car does lag when i accelerate and the RPM would jump low back to high when i make a fast complete stop. This is very interesting that Lexus is doing this. Any reviews from this experience would help.

Thanks.

The replacement of the shock you should be able to follow the how-to's on installing lowering springs in the 2is FAQ thread but instead of replacing the spring just change out the shock and re-install.

Got any more info on the engine/piston replacement? Do you mean they bore your engine and put new pistons? a rebuild? Tell us more, I am interested.
