Hi, still looking for good aftermarket or original air suspension kit.
Anyone tried the TWR kit?

Any other suggestions?

I dont think that's a direct OEM replacement. That kit you would have to get a air managment system. Sounds like you want a direct replacement or OEM itself. I would look into arnott air suspensions. Could be had off ebay for like 1200 a pair

Arnott Air Suspension Products is pleased to introduce new aftermarket rear air strut AS-2856 for the 2007-2011 Lexus LS 460 (XF40/41 Chassis) with Adaptive Variable Suspension.

AS-2856 is an Arnott engineered aftermarket air suspension strut which fits the rear right or left hand side of the short and long wheelbase 2007-2012 Lexus LS 460 and 2008-2012 LS 600h both with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS).This new assembly replaces the O.E. strut and features a new, not remanufactured, custom-tuned shock absorber. The Arnott strut features a new heavy duty air bladder from ContiTech which is protected by an aluminum can along with a CNC-machined top mount and sealing cap made from aircraft-quality aluminum. This new air strut is assembled with Arnott's long-lasting seals, O-rings, bump stop, heavy-duty crimping rings, new air line fitting and a dust boot to protect the shock.Each strut is fully assembled and tested in the USA to ensure the highest standard of quality and comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty and 30-Day Return Policy.Arnott-designed new struts are an excellent alternative for aging air suspension systems because they provide the luxury, comfort, and auto leveling of air springs but replace the older original active damping shock with a new, custom-valved shock designed to provide a great ride at a more affordable price.

The featured new aftermarket air suspension strut is a high-quality, cost-effective solution for Lexus LS 460 owners concerned about failing O.E. air suspension parts leaving them with expensive and recurring maintenance problems. Arnott also offers AS-2855, a new front LS 460 air strut, along with a Lexus LS 460 Air Suspension Compressor P-3188 to round out their offering for the XF40/41 Chassis LS 460. 'The Arnott Advantage' adds exceptional value to some of the most sophisticated air suspension components available. See Arnott's impressive array of additional, innovative aftermarket replacement parts for Lexus vehicles including the LS 430, LS 600HL, RX 450H and GX 460 and GX 470 Here.

Hyperlink to the front struts is returning a 404 error

Do those still allow operation of the 'Comfort/Sport/Normal' suspension settings?

Doug,
What is the advantage of going with the Arnott shocks over stock given only a 10-20% discount over OE?

What are the details of the custom tuning? Does it work any better than stock?

Any plans on a 2 or 4 set for a discount like the resellers on ebay?

ArnottInc

Thank you. We had to do a bit of re-organization for long and short wheelbases / All wheel drive vs rear wheel drive since the front strut does not fit / work on with AWD models:

Good idea on the group discount.

The 4808050153 O.E. MSRP is $1,517.95 and the Arnott MSRP is $799 (almost 50% off). You can find both items discounted at online and retail outlets and I'd hope our aftermarket strut would still have a much better price.

Custom valving of Arnott designed struts is a long and involved process that can take many months and in some cases years. We try to mimic the O.E. ride thought a series of designs, adjustments, tests, more adjustments and more testing. Even when we find what may be the optimum design we have to test drive it for many miles to make sure it holds up. Arnott-designed new struts are an excellent alternative for aging air suspension systems because they provide the luxury, comfort, and auto leveling of air springs but replace the older original semi-active damping shock with that new, custom-valved shock designed to provide a great ride at a more affordable price.

^ If that's the case, any dash lights to worry about?

Also...

Is a front strut for AWD models in the works?

ArnottInc

Arnott builds these with an Electronic Bypass Module to turn off any dashboard warning lights.

I do not have an ETA on that yet.
