Default F-Sport Shocks Discontinued

Can't find them anywhere, Sewell has officially discontinued these items on their site, and I can't find any on eBay. I just placed an order for my F-Sport springs and they're on their way. What is the next best option for comparable shocks? I have no interest in purchasing coil overs. This is for the GS 350 RWD.

Damn, I'm in the same boat... Was looking to do F-Sport springs and shocks, but it looks like the struts are discontinued. I do know that Eibach makes the springs and Bilstein makes the shocks, but not sure if they are customized for Lexus or if they are cross-referenced with existing models. Anybody with info would be greatly appreciated.

FSport shocks are rebadged Bilsteins. Bilstein had a contract with Lexus to brand them specifically for Lexus for a certain time period. If they are discontinued, I would have to assume that the contract is over, thus meaning you should be able to get the same shocks under the Bilstein branding.

Nothing comes up for Bilstein for 3GS 350 RWD or AWD. I don't think Bilstein cross listed these under their own line. Damn shame...
