There are no aftermarket shocks for the 3GS at this time. KYB is the OEM supplier for Lexus GS shocks.

that doesn't take away the fact that you are likely wearing the stock shocks faster though

Does Bilstein have anything? I used to do Bilstein Sport shocks with HR springs on my benz's. Runs cheaper than coils.

there is no aftermarket shocks for this car yet, period

seriously, if someone is looking for springs + shocks, why not get coilovers. coilovers and air are the only two things i would consider

but the two parts aren't engineered together, they might not perform best

either way, to each his own
