(Repeat post from RX300 forum)
Do KYB's manufacture OEM shocks for RX's? Are they the same version of the KYB GR-2s that are available as aftermarket (Tirerack.com)?

Based on my search, I find that many online stores basically tell you that KYB GR-2s ARE the OEM shocks. Is this right?

I didn't think this is correct because I thought Lexus used Toyota's in house manufactured shocks....(I could be wrong about this).

Can someone please shed some light on this topic?

I could have sworn that when I had my shocks on my 99 RX replaced in January, they said Lexus on it....whereas the old ones they took out said Toyota.

What else would it say? Toyota?

It says Lexus on it because it is a Lexus part. I am trying to find out whether or not KYB or Toyata makes the part (regardless of whether or not it says Lexus or Toyata on the brand name). And also trying to find out if these are the same part as the KYB GR-2s.

Thanks.
