As stated in an earlier post, the shop botched the first install of KYB's with stock spring setup. This is what originally cost me $250. They agreed to replace all four struts, and after riding on the KYB's for about a week, I was not happy with losing the factory Lexus ride. Thanks to JimsGx recommendation, I decided to go with the Arnott's and take the credit from the shop for the KYB's. I paid the difference for the Arnotts, and they removed KYB's/stock spring, and installed them for no extra charge. So far so good on the ride quality of the Arnotts, but I have a squishy sound coming from the fronts when going slow over speed bumps.

Any updates on how these Arnotts are performing?

Why on earth wouldn't you just replace them with OEM struts if you want the OEM ride? LOL!

What's the price difference between OEM struts and the Arnotts?

I'm glad to hear of a cheaper solution for suspension components.

Anyone has Arnott coupon code that is still good for April 2010? Couldn't find anything on line or in the club marketplace. Thanks.

Edit: Found answer to my own question, previous coupon code 74V4-W7D seems to still work for 10% off.
