Default Why are Shocks Super hard to find for 2009+ IS250's??



Hello Friends,

This is my first post on here so bare with me. I have been searching for replacement shocks for my 2009 XE20. However, upon searching on google, it all for 2006-2008and or AWD. Anybody know why 2009 and up are hard to find? I'm beginning to believe that Lexus bully'd everyone and ask not to make parts for the 2009 and up.

I currently have OEM suspension on mine and is beginning to show signs wear in the front and am looking to lower the car eventually (Install new shocks + H&R's at same time). Anybody know where I can find either Tokico HP, KYB or similar for cheap?

ALSO, F-sport Sways (Front + Rear) are a possibility. Anyone have experience with both or just the rear. Is both worth it? The car will, most likely never be used on a track and only for daily driving.

Thanks everyone

Shocks and springs will fit all years. 09+ isn't different.

Only the sway bars changed a bit (front end links, rear bushing mounts).

You can contact THmotorsports - call them before you order anything to see what they have in stock, or what they are able to order for you.
