I havent seen this ever before. Anyone tried it? Hopefully a better alternative to Strutmasters.

P/N: Arnott C-3418

It's $655 on Rockauto https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...13000&jsn=1297

 

1st time seeing this for me too.

They must’ve recently released these for sale.

 

Price? A approximate or ballpark price is ok.

 

Already on sale on Rockauto for $655. Seems too good to be true assuming they are not shotty like Strutmasters. At least they have the suspension light bypass which i dont need.

 

Why to bother? An used low mileage OEM set will run under $500 and it will outlast any brand new after market set.

 

Low mile OEM sets aren’t that easy to find that you can just swap in. You will still likely need to buy new shocks and strut mounts to swap them into used OEM springs. People also don’t realize spring rates may vary and heights are different for 2007-2012 vs 2013-2017 when purchasing.

For me with the Ultra Lux package, I would likely need to rebuild an OEM set considering how hard it is to access the rear deck.

 

Neither Arnott or any other aftermarket air shocks can interface with Lexus control system. Considering this is a downgrade to standard shocks, there are other brands of shocks that members have used and posted their results on the forum. Time is the true test of a new product and Arnott doesn't meet that yet. I hope they are good. Do a search here for other time tested shocks.

 

This is Arnotts coil shocks. We all know Arnott Air Struts are trash.

only time tested shocks are OEM KYB coil shocks and KYB air

 

I got front OEM struts with 100k+ miles and it was in great condition. 2013+ AWD struts fit 2010-2012 AWD, I know that because that is what I got.

 

All LS460 suspension hardware are compatible for all years. Just know that 2013-2017 stock ride height sits lower than 2007-2012.
then ultra lux package is not easy to disassemble

 

If you want OE control and function go OE.....Arnot is totally fine and they are well made but will not have CDC. Frankly it doesn't matter much on these as sport vs normal mode is still boat vs boat lol

 

We’re getting off topic. Arnott released a new coil spring product. Just wanted to know if anyone had experience with it. Seems like it’s too new for anyone to have used it yet.

Personally I would hope that it’s reliable irrespective trying to match OEM quality as long as it’s not bottoming out or being overly stiff.

And yes, for me there is no perceptible differences between normal and sport on the air ride.

 

I agree no difference with normal vs sport. My Fsport has sport+ that definitely firms up suspension, which I use on rough uneven roads & over speed bumps.

 

I found arnotts to be good quality

 

Check Triple Creations on ebay. They sell brand new KYB oem's. I bought one for $850. Out of the UAE.
