But even if your car has the adjustable struts, you can use the non adjustable struts they just wont adjust. As for the rear you buy any GS350 rear struts there all the same even awd.

Also tire psi, helps soften ride. If your tires are over 35 or 36 psi the ride gets harsher. drop a psi or two if you dont mind the extra gas it burns.
I'm on my second set of Michelin pilot sports, and they definitely are not that quiet. and bumpy.

Pilot sports are more for sport riding, so the tire is stiffer. if you want comfort and soft ride then the primacy is the one you want.

Why would the Adaptive Control Suspension cost less?? I assume that is what I need because of the Sport/Normal mode?? Sorry just confused..

Maybe because of supply and demand, most GS are standard non adjustable struts. Btw these kyb they are oem struts, same exact valving. I called there tech line years ago, and compared it with a good strut. When you remove the old strut it will say kyb on it

Hi Everyone.

My GS460 2009 struts are already bad 100 k miles .... the car is with sport/normal function button.
The OEM struts are KYB - they cost fortune at the dealer.

I'm looking for option to purchase at alternative source.

Can anyone confirm KYB numbers to fit front and rear struts?

7210006 for the rear, 7210007 and 7210008 for the front. unless you have active stabilizer, then its buy from Lexus.
