New to the forum and not mechanical. I am however, a LS430 fanatic. My 01 LS430 was just crushed by a tree during a storm. The wife cheered, I cried. I spent 2 weeks attempting to convince her
why I was getting an 04 versus buying a newer model (money being the obvious factor and NO car payment) No luck convincing her so it was, "well, sorry you do not the support the decision but
I have locate the vehicle I am purchasing.

2004 Charcoal grey, 1 owner, Lexus serviced from day 1 and in mint condition. My dream color. I could go on and on, however I digress. this car is awesome mechanically and looks wise
however it really rides like a boat. It does NOT have air suspension and clearly the struts are shot. My question is: Do I need to replace the springs when doing the struts? I found the KYB
struts to buy and just want to make sure I have everything replaced that should be to restore the ride I had on my 2001. It had 276k miles and still road like a dream. My new LS floats all over the darn
place.

Thanks in advance!!

 

Just replace the struts and you should be fine.
