Air runner. Pricey, but hand made in Japan. Note: Aftermarket, will not plug and play with lexus onboard computer. Has an independent controller. I'm thinking it's not what your asking for, but ya never know. GL

Please note, the Arnott replacements are not adjustable in damping rate. It is noticeable, I used a pair of Arnotts in the rear of my now-gone '08.
Found supposedly new ones on ebay for slightly less, didn't get to swap them out on the '08, so they're being stored for my '12. I figure I'll need them in the next 20K miles. They seem to last a little over 100K miles, the rears. Fronts last longer, go figure.

No worries. I'm all for giving as much info as I can on this, because I spent 2-3 months trying to get things correct, then it was totaled. Kinda good, because I wasn't adjusting suspension, weekly, for another two months, but I drove that car with no back seat for a solid couple of weeks, while I made certain everything was good...and that's how I discovered they didn't adjust like the OEMs do.
They're sold as new on eBay, and after looking at my old OEM ones and the "new" ones, I see zero difference other than the new ones have obviously not been mounted. Could be a clone/fake, but that'd be a lot of work, at this level of detail, for minimal profit.
