For shocks I’d probably run a KYB AGX with a pedders spring if you can’t get something like an eibach
KYB is the bee’s knees for Lexus. It’s OEM and will get it as close to new as you can get.
Pros: OEM quality, like new
Vehicle:
Lexus RX
Other KYB parts are pretty good. Used KYB shocks in other cars in the past.
Pros: pretty good
KYB am pus recent, sunt f bune.
Pros: f bune
Eu pun KYB de prin 2014 si am fost mereu multumit.
Pros: mereu multumit
I’ll be honest, while it’s a massive improvement from where I was before changing them (the originals!????), I’m not a fan of the KYBs. They are SO STIFF.
Pros: massive improvement
Cons: SO STIFF
Mileage: 2000 km
Happy with the cheap kyb gas a just shocks I have on my c1500 for the money but I prefer bilsteins and have had them in many vehicles.
Pros: good for the money
Cons: prefers Bilstein

I did this to my 2008 ES350 with KYB quick struts. Not a professional mechanic but proficient at changing parts. I’ve managed to save tens of thousands over the years, pretending I know what I’m doing out of my garage. Ordered the KYB, looked like this or worse.

Friday the shop replaced both rear struts with new KYB struts. The next morning I drove 160 miles round trip on interstate at interstate speeds. On the way back some minor road damage made the car feel like it was going to go right off the road -- pulling right, lots of twisting and yawing.
When home I found a puddle of reddish fluid where the truck had been overnight. This morning the shop confirmed that \*both\* struts had blown out and they never saw anything like it.
Cons: pulled right, twisting and yawing, struts blown out
