Default Help finding rear shocks for 2002 SC430

I need to replace the rear shocks on my 2002 SC430 but don't want to pay the OEM price (over $200 each) I just replaced the fronts with KYB from partgeek for $160 for the pair. Need help finding similar deal for the rear. Found a place in Japan (amayama) that sells them for $160/pair. Anybody knows this company?. No modifications, please.

Altatensio, it looks like a very good price. Did you get a quote for the shipping cost? Thanks.

Not yet. It looks like you need to create an account to get the shipping quote and I am not ready to pull the trigger. If they are OEM I would think $40 will be a fair S/H for both.

...hey guys this has been discussed before & I thought someone might have brought it up, but a few of us bought rear shocks for the 1998-2000 Lexus GS400. These cars have the same rear suspension & the shocks bolt right up.I know Barcardi did his, but he had his cut & the spring load redone. I did nothing to mine,just bolted them up & have been riding for over a year with no issues. This is the part # W0133-1911223 that I used from Part Geeks ( no affiliations with this company)...hope this helps some

the difference was I want the Bilstein Shocks. they were 3500 in Germany were they were made front and rear and Bilstein would not ship them to the USA believe me I tried. so I had Bilstein USA make them for me to Germany Spec's they are Bilsten Sport Shocks revalved to Germany spec.s for the 430sc front and rear a great ride and handling. I got them from eshocks they are GS shocks and I sent them to Bilstein. my cost eshocks sport shocks 535.80 shipped Bilstein 125.00 front revalved and 249.00 for cutting and revalving rear. the sports are 30% stiffer then the HD's I also had them reduced to 10% stiffer then the HD's front and rear
