My wife has a 97 ES300 with the adaptive variable suspension and she thinks it might be time for replacements. She has been complaining about the ride and bounce. I haven't seen a difference but I do not drive it everyday. Can anyone tell me what the cost might be for replacement struts. I searched this forum and suppliers to no avail. See a few threads that indicated going away from the AVS was best due to cost. Aside from cost is there any other reasons to consider standard struts? Any suggestions or recommendations on replacements? Thanks for any help you can provide.

My wife is getting a gs 350. She'd like a "sporty" feel, which I think means generally better handling, less "boaty" on lane changes/swerves, tight around corners in mostly city, some country driving. What actual differences can a driver feel with AVS?

Both my ES's have had the AVS feature (previous ES was a 2001). I'd be curious what the dealer says for the cost as well.....I never had to replace them personally, but I really enjoy having it. Keep us posted.
