Hey, I wanted to know whether the shock absorber for an ES 300 model 2005 are repairable or not. The new ones are very expensive for this model. Or is there any alternate shock we can install on this model? I want to replace all the four ..
I will appreciate if anyone can advice or help me find them at a cheap price who can ship it internationally too.

Struts aren't repairable. If you do a search here, you can find Toyota dealers who sell OEM struts for a fair price. Stay with OEM if you want to keep the ride stock as non OEM will change the ride, you might not like that. Not saying it's bad, just different and potentially less money.

check out the KYB GR2 struts. there has been a promotion for $40 rebate on purchase of 4 going on since march. Offer will be over this thursday.

For daily driving needs, KyB is a good replacement for the oem.

Hey thanks, I bought 4 kyb gas shocks fory es300 2005 and I am just wondering that it does not contain the wire system like the original ones? I mean the original ones are basically connected with connectors and the kyb ones are without them ? What's with the connectors ? It's just for sensors or something else??

Got a newbie question here. I heard KYB shocks for ATVs, but I haven't seen one for Lexus. Anyway, how's the performance? any feedback?

Performance is good, I bought them after reading the feedback from many of them. Kyb gives you the list of cars for which they provide the shocks.

I have read multiple complaints about the KYB GR2 being much rougher than stock, with even the Monroes being better. I personally wouldn't bother with them.
