sorry about my font lol my first time posting here in CL.. anyway, if tokico was the same shock as the OEM of is350 then it should be good and not too harsh to ride it?

I have H&R with OEM shocks... and the ride is great.

I've been told by multiple sources that the ride will be degraded with aftermarket shocks.

Sorry - thats all I can tall ya. I doubt the tokico shocks that you guy is selling is the same as the OEM tokico shocks.

EDIT- fixed typo

Have H&R springs with F-Sport shocks. Ride is sporty but not harsh (at least not in my book) ;-) According to my wife it is now "how Lexus should sell the car from the factory" - says it all, it's after all a sports sedan, right?
