Default Strustmasters coil spring conversion for 2009 460L

Hi,

Has anyone with 460L changed their suspension?
Suncore doesnt have L model compatible suspension. Strutmaster said RWD one should fit. I am sending them vin# to check compatibility. Its around ~$1200 shipped.

I see few after market air suspension on Ebay but it wont be the same quality as OEM.

Thanks

The suspension on the L model is no different then the SWB, its only AWD models that are different

Stay away from strutmaster, shockmaster, suncore and all other no nam,e brands, just buy KYB struts , OEM springs and the necesary hardware to put the strut together

You will need strut mounts, strut insulators for the bottom of the spring , and there may be a few bolts for mounting, im in the process of doing mine very soon

Here is the thread where he got each OEM part : https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-...nd-shocks.html

Seems strutmaster are either KYB, monroe or other named brands as per this thread https://www.clublexus.com/forums/mai...-coilover.html

How much are you paying for installation? I got a quote for $250 for each suspension. My front suspension are off by 1degree causing car to steer right, but I will replace all.

Mine as well , it's just my front right and it still works it just makes noises sometimes over bumps

I'm paying $700 labour for all 4 shocks
