Anyone? Trying to order parts as soon as possible.
Do you have AIR struts? If you are on normal metal springs, the KYB parts work fine. I just installed front and rear on my 2007 LS460L.
As an aside, there is also an upgraded front spring for the 2007MY car that includes a plastic cover to eliminate a noise over bumps. It is possible these upgraded springs also have a slightly higher spring rate.
I have the base model. No air struts. It looks like these mounts are for the L model. Seems like the base model KYB strut mounts are more expensive than the L model. Weird.

I believe they are all the same. The way the description is written is confusing but it just means that the strut mount fits the base vehicle or the L version without AIR suspension. I have used these parts on my LS460L without issue. KYB is the OEM manufacturer.

Thank you. It is confusing. It’s possible the L is from
the 4.6(L)
Does anyone know if the KYB struts come with the insulators?

I have the struts, strut mounts and springs, someone posted once claiming there is one more piece that needs to be purchased when doing air to spring conversion, cant find his post anymore though
Ok let’s see if I can describe it correctly.
that part you posted thar goes on the struts for the strings to rest ON, struts do not come with insulators. If you buy a Toyota part for the front, it comes with the rubber dust boot, which fits under the strut mount and is where the spring rest up against.
so if we are talking about the front and Toyota parts, you need the strut, the insulator that it sits on, the spring, the strut mount assembly I think also comes with the inner, bump stop, and I think that’s it. Oh you also need a spacer and a washer for securing the top of the strut to the mount you can search the strut model number and Lexus LS 460 and you can find diagrams which which will show you all the parts needed.
as far as I can remember the back strut mounts, rubber boots, bump stops are sold separately.
check my post about conversion for more information
