Mt RX330 is Japanese made and they fit perfectly.

The ones I bought for my 2006 RX330 came with brackets. Said brackets were identical to the Lexus OE brackets, except they are removable (for next time, if necessary). Today I cut up ones of my old struts (to make a Punch out of the hardened steel shaft..\\

I used a Cut Off Wheel, on my air powered Die Grinder. It was not horrible, but I remember thinking..."I am glad I bought new struts with brackets"! This was about 4 hours ago,

Just buy one that has the brackets built-in. No more cost than without. Made in USA or china.. it’s all using Chinese parts and will not last as long as OEM. I’m on my third set and couldn’t tell the difference between the three.

don’t worry about the “lifetime warranty” gimmick. For my old ones (lift support?), shipping was ~$12 a so for each strut and the wait time so it was a no go
