Plenty of options to choose from. Koni yellow is popular. Or if u want to stick to Lexus shocks go with Tokico Blue or Whites.

Researching options for shocks/struts as well. Been reading some good reviews on other sites about Koni Yellows...I like the adjustability.

Anybody on Koni Yellows with F-Sport Springs?

Kyb's are cheap and you get what you pay for. Koni yellows are my recommendation for comfort and quality.

I called Lexus Laval today actually and they can get them, but I was told that the shocks come with a 1 year warranty from Lexus, however if something does go WRONG and they're unable to get it (since it's discontinued) well you're fresh out of luck...

Options that are close to stock:

- Tokico blue

- Tokico HTS (adjustable)

As others have mentioned, Koni Yellow (adjustable) shocks are available for our cars now.

For the BEST matching shock/spring combo, you'd best go with the Koni pkg. However, at that price you'll be at coilover pricing.

Exactly, at that point coil overs should be considered instead.
