I don't think I have your sense of direction, or vote of confidence, Mr. Jason.. . I've done brake pads and rotors in the past, but the rear air springs look a little menacing to me LOL

 

Im really bad about saying things are much easier than they actually are.... it’s got to do with what I consider “ common sense tools”... which can actually be 7 or 8 trips to the local parts store.

But I still think the rear shock and air springs are a fairly easy task.
But “easy” is a very relative term.

 

Living in the rust belt, I consider a sawzall a "common sense tool" for changing the rear shocks, lol!

 

I always hate when a “rust belt” car comes in for repairs. People don’t realize that a 2hr job can turn into a 2 day job unbelievably fast. Lol

 

Wow, that's almost twice as much.

 

Thats retail... here in north Louisiana.. there aren’t very many Lexus dealers, so you’d be lucky to get them for that price. You’d most likely have to ask for a discount or call them out on their mark up. I’ve seen Audi, Porsche, bmw, Lexus, and other high end car dealers charge double retail pricing.
Ive seen my own dealer sell valves or solenoids that are $25-$20 “cost”.. sell the item for $125-$150!!!

but in a place like Dallas, where there are 4 of the same brand dealers, sell most items for 20% below retail. I’ve actually ordered things from an Audi dealer in Dallas because it’s cheaper than paying my “employee discount” which is 23% above cost. It’s quite irritating.

 

I've installed the air bags. Now my Height Control stays at 'N' all the time. Does not work, does not adjust height(up or down) and the ride is as if there were no air bags installed. People in GXOR advised to reset a ECU. I'll try to do that tomorrow. Hopefully, it will work. Will need to find a detailed "how to reset ECU".

Thank you.
