Default L-Tuned shocks no longer available???!!!

I just looked at Sewell Lexus' web-page for the L-tuned shocks for a 1999 GS400 and it says "no longer available".


I realize that L-tuned is gone, but, I thought that the shocks were still available.

I had read on here that the L-Tuned shocks were a little softer than a certain set of Bilstein's but still not as soft as stock.


Anyone have any comments or recommendations? I'm running Eiback springs and will soon be adding Daizan sways. Most people that know me would say I'm a have a "spirited" driving style. (but I don't want harshness, the roads aren't exactly butter smooth here)

Default try a search for confirmation

but I think the L-Tuned shocks are rebadged KYB which you should be able to get. You may want to try and contact them.

The L-tuned shocks are in fact the same shocks that Lexus put on their European spec cars. Europeans like a more firm ride.

I guess that since there is no more L-Tuned, the European spec shocks are no longer imported in larger volumes, so prices may not be attractive anymore.
