I haven't tried FCS yet, always replaced mine directly withToyota/Lexus Parts since people said KYB rides stiffer . I do believe KYB ride stiffer because my brother replace all his 2000 Celica with KYB and it was a different ride.

Someone from the forums used FCS and said it didn't fit well on the rear. (halfway through the post He mentions FCS)

I replaced the rear struts on my '07 RX 350 with FCS complete strut assemblies and they fit just fine.

You can find oem like Kayabas on ebay, quite pricey though.... around 400-500 dollars for the set ! I had mine rebuilt for much less , but I am not very happy with the result, I suggest to buy them new, can't go wrong with the kybs !

I bought FSC rear struts from Carig, didn't fit. Called FSC they said since my model is premium package, they don't make one that fits.

went with Monroe OE struts
