looking and looking with no luck
I wanted to see if anyone had a good, trusted website were one can find bilstein shocks for a 95 Ls400. Some of the online sites don't have very good ratings. I've had no luck locally sourcing them. All the stores are authorized dealers but no-one can source them.
If anyone knows where to get a complete set, I'd appricate it.

Humm if you are looking to lower it I would consider coil overs. I have Bilstein HD's with H&R and I would like to change them. I bought mine at shock warehouse (on second set for front in 6+ years).

I guess amazon never crossed my mind. I'll have to look into that. Every dealer I've gone to has a part number but they say they can't be sourced. Could be were I live, not many full size luxury cars in truck country.

I kinda had my heart set on the bilstiens, since I heard you could lower them a bit more. I've already purchased the tanabe springs or else I would just go with coilovers. If I can't source the bilstiens, any other combination anyone recommends would be appreciated.

should have read a little more. the bilsteins won't work well with the pillow-soft tanabes. the bilsteins are onlyr eally meant to work with a 1-1.5" drop, the tanabes are a 2"+ drop and will force the shock to work outside its optimal stroke.
sell/return the tanabes and run coilovers. or buy kYB, cheaper+softer than the bilstein and will wear at the same rate with those springs.
