yes it feel like is just outta factory..very nice to drive. no sound at all.. . also i notice it made by KYB, made is japan, i did it from brichwood lexus, they had to order from japan. it took one week to arrive. its made by kyb but not like regular KYB. is specially made for gs350 (weight etc ). some other shop quote me way cheaper with some aftermarket monroe or other ****ty brand.....but i went with dealer ...every single penny wroth.....also ... also after change strut something went wrong with ASF, they fix it free right way... other shop probably would give me some bs...

now car drive like dream.... if you buy one buy only RWD.... i have only 140km (around 80mile)....

Actually KYB is the exact same replacement as OEM. I put my rears side by side and were exact and even same valving. A whole lot cheaper then the dealer.

Good thing you didnt go for the monroe shocks those are garbage.

I did my rears last month and ran into this issue. It's really an easy fix if you want me to walk you through it pm me.
