Bilstein is a Superior product. They might be the ONLY aftermarket LS part I've seen of higher quality than Genuine Toyota/Lexus! I wouldn't be the least bit worried about a little extra firmness.

So,is the catalog B the right one? Catalog A isnt in stock.... Also that rubber boot shock cover,need those? I guess I better search Bilstein pages,eh?

You can borrow the portable spring compressor from any local auto parts stores for free. To speed up the process, you can use an impact gun to compress the spring but make sure you tighten the tool evenly on both sides, a little bit at a time, that way the spring will be compressed nicely which will make the installation of the new strut much easier.

yeah the rear shocks weren't too difficult to do. The seat bottom and back has to come off to gain access, that takes about 30 min. Then, I was able to reach the 3 top bolts using a low profile 14mm wrench and also a 3/8th socket wrench with a wobble joint. The rear package shelf was left intact and clipped in, maybe the very corner, but I definitely didn't have to remove it completely.

Tappy

Hey Spuds, what did you end up going with for the shocks? Did you also replace the springs? I need to replace my springs, but I was wondering if the quality of springs varies as much as the shocks.

spuds

Unfortunately they are still in the box,major house repairs got pushed to top of list and still an ongoing project.Promise to update when they get done.

Tappy

No worries! But, I was just wondering what shocks you ended up buying?

spuds

Got the Bilsteins as recommended by the club,never been steered wrong here.

Tappy

Kewl! Thank you!

spuds

Actually I wound up getting front shocks as 1 developed an issue.Part is 24-027342 for the Toyota Celsior it says on box..

Tappy

Ahhh, gotcha. I'll probably get a full set for front and rear. Amazon has them for $288.81
