The 01' GS is my sister's, she got it 2 months ago.
We are up to 6 now, still a long way from your 23 though
You just got another 98' SC4?

Good point, I would imagine we can find some threads on this company's rebuild on the LS400 forum. I am going to go search. Please let me know if you find anything.

You would know, something dramatic would happen.....either the car sink to the ground or ride horribly.

You are very welcome. Since the LS430 is so reliable and the car is not that old, not many struts fail yet, the few that failed, the dealer fixed them. So that company haven't heard much from LS430 owners yet.
If they feel there is demand for them, they would make them. I would imagine they are not that much different then the LS400 strut that they offer now.

Feels, runs and drives great. I have only had the car a little under a year but since then I have not had any problems.

I just hit 100K...and still rides damn smooth! So I'm hoping it last a lot longer than 120K.....hopefully by then, this company will offer it for us.
So what is needed to be replace if they go bad?.....just the strut/shock?

Thanks for telling!
I plan to drive mine to the ground, so I want to know how it feel at 100k, 200k and 300k.
122k sounds perfect so far!

That is why we have to call them now to get them going on it, so when we need it a few years down the road, they will be waiting for us.

The air spring and strut come as one assembled unit, the whole thing have to be replace, which is why it is $1000 each from Lexus.

I love those late model 98-00 SC4 and LS4 also, 290hp with the 5 speeds must drive pretty good, just like a 01-03 LS430!

No, not yet. I plan on either adjusting the rods or getting a controller soon.
