Hey Adam, I have two Stock Lexus front struts that I took off of a 1994 SC400 which was totalled and in the salvage yard. These feel very good and have no leaks. The car was rear ended, badly. They are marked with a R and L so you do not get confused. They seemed just as tight as the Tokicos I put on recently. I got them cheap, like $30 each, so could offer them to you at that same price if you are willing. They are made in Japan and if you hold them up to the Tokicos, other than the color, they are EXACTLY the same strut. I recon that Tokico makes the stock Lexus struts for Lexus.

Well I'm looking for aftermarket performance struts such as Tokico for the reason that I've been told my stock struts will go bad within a few months if I get lowering performance aftermarket springs such as Eibachs.

Smile abutler696 / Re: Tokico struts

abutler696,

I was given a quote from www.shox.com for Tokico/Eibach complete kit on a 92 SC400 at a total price of $424.57 and that was including shipping/handling costs as well.
I still have the sales quote number for this order. I just didn't have the need for it at that time I was just shopping around for prices. If interested email me and we'll go from there.

Thanks,

Van Nguyen

I've got a new set of front and rear Tokico struts that I may get rid of. I just bought them for my 92 SC400 and I might be getting rid of the car. Please send me a email if you are interested. snydergj@excite.com
