They’re my preferred alternative to OEM. Might also be a good idea to make sure your suspension bushings/rubber are all in good shape.

I'll be surprised if you can actually find a set of springs in the USA for these cars. Even for my LS430, it's about impossible to get Tanabe springs anymore. No one imports them because no one wants them. People either use coilovers or air-ride. For your struts though, KYB is the OEM equivalent.

I see a few sites with them after searching for the part number. Not many though.

Geez I take it back. I called and emailed every shop on Google that had them at one point. Discontinued and sold out everywhere. I’m considering coilovers now. The mods never stop
