Needing new struts
I can not find the thread where members get a discount for buying struts from a Lexus dealer. Can someone help me out 07 ES350. Do you know if the springs come with and about how much. Thanks!!

www.lexuspartsnow.com and www.lexussouthatlanta.com both discount OEM parts. OEM does not sell quick strut kits with springs installed. You do not want those anyway as the springs, spring seats and strut bearings are usually low quality compared to OEM and will not perform as well or last long. You need a spring compressor to replace struts, be careful with them. I think AutoZone and Advance Auto will lend them out.
I think you may get a discount for being a CL member. Check the vendor forum. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...unt-codes.html
There may be other OEM sources.

Thanks for the info Cluhless I ended up buying them at my local dealer, about $ 170 each. When I looked at the strut it had KYB on the side with some numbers. The KYB are around $ 80 each should I have used the KYB.

I found OEM at lexusparts now to be much cheaper than KYB for my RX350. However I see their price for ES front struts is the same as what you paid.
