I thought I read somewhere that the f-sports were developed in conjunction with Bilstein.
I think it's going to be a while before more manufcturers get involved with this platform, not enough demand to justify a production run. I'm guessing another year or so when the 06's depreciate enough for more people to afford to buy one and still afford start modding the crap out of it.

Tokico makes the HP, the blue shock. I think it's equivalent to the sport suspension shock?

Has this been confirmed that the Tokico HP = OEM Sport suspension shock? Is there an equivalent OEM non-sport suspension shock?

The F Sport shocks are made by Bilstein, clearly labeled right on the product. I got mine from Sewell for a little less than $700 with our Club Lexus discount if I remember correctly.

Giggity is correct, the F Sport struts are developed by Bilstein and labeled as F Sport and sold via. I would HIGHLY recommend if you are not doing the coilover route!
