Rear shock replacement Q
Thank you brother @DshngDaryl I am hoping that is the reason why it shakes at certain speeds. I am thinking of doing this job myself, would i need to have the spring removed and pressed to the new Shock or do they come assembled from RockAuto for a KYB set. I was looking at this one https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...1567&jsn=10431 I also wanted to know if the OEM lexus ones are better and where can i get them at a good price?
Thank you,

Most people consider changing shocks scary because you have to use a spring compressor. Done wrong it could severely injure or possibly kill you. You should watch some videos on YouTube and see how they do it and then decide if you think you can tackle the project yourself. Just type in "sc430 strut" into youtube and i bet many examples will come up.

Just wanted to double check that you understand that the shocks you listed are for the front of the car. I believe struts for the back have to be bought at the dealer.

You are correct i was talking about the front ones. If i am going to remove them, i will take it somewhere else to get the springs compressed, you are totally correct on the danger that could cause. I was thinking about getting the KYB(KYB341266GR-2 / Excel-G Strut) , but for the price i can probably get OEM with out the strut mount or the boot kit(RockAuto).
