Default OEM Shocks - where to buy?

Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy a new set of OEM shocks (4) for my 2001 GS430.

Does anyone have recommendations on where to get this for a reasonable price? All the ads I see online are for aftermarket.

Thanks,

Luke

A dealership. OEM struts are surprisingly cheap, I can even get them for $100CAD/per, which is about the same as KYB. I don't know who makes OEM shock absorbers though.

Plenty of them have online shops. If you Googled just "lexus parts" you would have seen a bunch on the first page.

I don't know what reasonable price means, its quite relative. Heres what I found for $412 total:

Why not just get them from rockauto if you're only buying parts

I had these KYBs on my car before I got Bilstein B8s and they were pretty good:

I would go with the Bilstein B6s if you can afford it though

New OEM shocks? Stealership.

I have two brand new OEM shocks, NIB that I'm willing to sell. They are for the front. PM me if you're interested.
