I am getting ready for this repair. I've bought the shocks and the shock mounts. I was getting ready to buy the bumpers and the spring insulators that might need replacing. Good to hear that I might be able to just reuse the bumpers. I did the shocks on my Mercedes and the bumpers were dirty but reusable. Interestingly, the Mercedes only has the 2 front shock mounts versus the 4 in the Lexus.

What is everybodies experience with changing out the spring insulators? From the pictures, they look like a combination spring pad and rubber boot. These run about $30 each!

Thanks,
