Hey retro, I think he means shocks not strut bars.

I have the Tokico Eibach steup and love it.
1" lower and still almost as smooth as stock.

lol sorry, 4 hrs of sleep is not helping

Yeah, I run Tokico/Ebiah combo also. There are many others, but these seem to be most popular on Lexus.

I know that Koni Yellows has always been better then Tokicos in quality but I am not sure the same would apply for lexus.

Eibach only makes one set for the Lexus. You can get it around $200-$250 for the set at any shop that sells Eibach springs.

Intrax also makes springs and it drops the Lex 1.5" for a lower stance.

Thanks. My entire quote from shox.com comes up to $578.80 for the Eibach springs and Tokico shocks and struts.
