2006 LS 430 Shocks
At the Sewell Lexus website, I recently bought front shocks for my 02 SC430. The shocks were bout $40 a piece. But for the 06 LS 430 the shocks are bout $200 a piece with the same part number and they look the same for both.
Anyone know what gives?

I don't know about the SC but the LS has struts and not shocks; struts are always more expensive.

george T, and muti Thats a double wishbone. no mc phearson struts. The LS uses shocks. the LS would never cheapen itself to be a strut car. struts are only ok on mid engine or rear engine cars that you steer with the back end anyway. cars with front motors and struts are pure rubbish, rough riding, bad handling crap. Not the LS line. For struts, look to the ES line

Lower performance cars? Dont most BMWs use a strut setup? Generalizing isnt a great thing to do IMO.
