Default Replacement Coil Springs?

Hello!

I tow a 5x8 utility trailer on a regular basis. My rear coils & struts are shot. For the life of me, I cannot find replacement Coil Springs where Lexus OEM doesn't gouge me.

A search on here reveals nothing. Mostly old threads, with expired links. Even google, NOTHING!

Try contacting Rockauto on their KYB K-flex coil springs to confirm they are stock ride height. It might be an option for you. FWIW, most of the aftermarket springs that i've seen are lowering springs.

Or check out the pricing for OEM coils from Sewell and mention clublexus for the discount

Just jumped on Sewell. As of 5 mintues ago, the CL member price for each rear coil spring is $110.99.
Both sides have the same part number 4823148011. But they also have the codes 48231A (right) and 48231B (left).

Ok, get a load of this. I put that part number into google. The RX300 (compact SUV) shares the same coil springs & struts as the newer RAV4. I'm gonna keep researching. I'll let you know my findings.
