Default Back shock 2008 IS250

So it seems when I hit a bump or go over a speed bump the car kind of dips on the right side. I assume its the shock. When I took it to the dealer two months back for an oil change they told me it was leaking..

Question:

Replace in pairs?

also does anyone know if KYB or Tokico are stock for this car out of the factory..

How many miles are on your car? Might as well replace all 4 shocks with the F-sport ones.

They are about the same price as OEM. You will give up some comfort for sportiness.

I just realized you have a 250. Mine are off a 2007 350. Not sure if they used the same exact shocks or not. Here are the pictures anyways.

If you are going to change them do all 4. Car might handle a bit weird with 2 new shocks and 2 old shocks. With 66K mils on the car the dampening is probably not nearly as good as new shocks.
