Default awd suspension parts

Looking to convert a 2010 AWD LS from air to spirngs. Did research keep hearing of suncore,unity, and strutmasters.Definitely not going with the first 2, but has anyone tried the autozone duralast front struts($250each) or FCS struts(100$each) from partsgeek? I know fcs are usually cheapos but have no idea on the duralast.

Also which AWD front control arms are hardest to find or OEM only? Ive seen aftermarket front upper forwards for sure. Beck arnley makes front lower forwards(95995-05922634 partsgeek). They also make the front lower rearwards(95995-06002989 partsgeek). Couldn’t find front upper rearwards but is that it?

Go with OEM springs, you should be able to find everything you need on this website.

I am using Beck and Arnley lower forward arms, they seem to be OK. As far as I understand there is no aftermarket replacements for front lower rearward arms.

Actually, there are aftermarket replacements for front lower rearward arms. Thank you for sharing!

I Dont know about AWD, but, KYB Shocks worked really good on a 08 RWD. it didnt come w/Air Susp but the oem shocks were shot.

Aftermarket arms seems to work well.

ceika will do a set of adjustable coilovers for less than $1000. Just installed mine on my ls600 after they sat for a year and I'm upset i didn't make the switch sooner.

You might want to try Fitment Industries....

fitmentindustries.com

I only looked at the website once and remember they do have a wide range of selections.

Was there any issue with the computer after you removed the Airstruts? Any DTCs? Did you removed the Air Compressor (pump) too? Im planning to change my Airs to Ceika coilovers too.
