Default Replacement Shocks-Stock 07 IS 350

Looking for suggestions for replacement shocks for 07 IS 350 with 80K miles, stock. I've been told by numerous sources that there are no aftermarket shocks for rear wheels and that you have to buy from dealer. KYB and Tokico have been mentioned for fronts. I'd like to replace both axles with only one brand if possible. Dealer shocks only have one year warranty, 12k mileage restriction and are pricey.

Any suggestions and prices would be appreciated.

For the money I'd spend a little extra dough and get coilovers

You can get Megan EZ coils too for $6-700 for the set I believe.

A - This needs to be moved to the suspension section of this forum.
B - This has been discussed in the suspension section of this forum (in fact, I just started a discussion not too long ago on this)
C - They make shocks for the FRONT and REAR. I don't know why a company would only make shocks for the front?
D - You could get the stock shocks from Sewell, F-sport shocks (Bilsteins) for about ~$612(?) from Sewell, Tokico HP (~$450) or Tokico HTS (~$900). I don't know about KYBs.

I ended up going with F-Sport.

I would look at maybe getting coils? I am going through the same thing here, 07 with 75K and i've decided to just get coils instead of replacing just the shocks.
