Could you please let me know why? I understand the logic about the OEM shocks are not designed/built to the lowered height and the lowering springs will wear them out faster if the shocks are still newer or even breaking them if the shocks are already worn. However, I keep hearing members here saying the KYB is direct OEM replacement or even Lexus OEM is just rebadged KYB and if that's the case, how come KYB can survive the lowered stance?

Thanks.


pizdets17: I am from Calgary, Alberta. Where are you from? Getting parts in Canada sure is expensive...... I sure wish I live in Vancouver, then I would drive across to purchase the parts, installed and drive back!

If you are getting things done, try Option Import on Macleod. They are good.
