hi guys, i just purchased a 2004 RX330 for my wife's b-day. Great shape but minor normal wear items need be replaced. I wanted to know what struts are recommended for this vehicle and how much they go for? I'm looking for a factory smooth ride, no air ride or coilovers. I believe this is the base model with 2WD.

Sure it needs struts? Still running the original OEM on my 2004.

If you need or want to make a change you can go OEM, I found nothing wrong with them, or here is the selection from Tire Rack:

carver....it has 154k on it. took it to the lexus dealer to get it diagnosed to see if there are any major problems and they told me that the struts were worn down and very minor leak on the cv boot (not enough to drip and/or cause any issues in the near future). got this vehicle for $12,300 all inclusive. just by the stance of the vehicle, i can see the rear sagging a bit more than the front so i know they're telling me the truth and the ride feels just a bit on the rough side.

I have the TTE springs and the factory struts are fine with this setup. I know KYB makes struts to fit these cars, but my experience with KYBs in the past has been that they ride hard. If you want the factory ride I'd just replace with oem. I wish Bilstein made replacements for the RX. Maybe someday. My car is an '04 and only has 60k on it. Just my $.02.
