Default Rear Shock Absorber Help
Any bagged riders out there? I have the 2015 IS 350 FSport. I bought my air ride from universal air and did not change out the rear shocks when I put in the air ride system. The stock shocks are starting to make some noise on the driver side. Looking for some recommendations on good brands and reasonable prices.

You definitely need performance shocks with air bags. Standard OEM shocks are not designed for full compression, and they will blow quickly. The noise you hear is probably the shock flopping around like a rag doll. For universal bags I believe a lot of people are using Tanabe Coil-Overs.

I may have been looking at a different make/model when I seen the Tanabe coil-overs used. Any performance coil-over should work.
