Front strut and strut mounts sc400
I got a 93 sc400 and I need to replace the front struts and front mounts only. With brand new parts. Any suggestions on what I should do? I prefer OEM. Is there a cheaper route that makes the suspensions better than OEM? I prefer the same height since the back struts don't need to be replaced. If not, do you guys know any place I can get brand new OEM struts/mounts other than from lexus directly itself? Some places look like they sell it cheaper price but not sure if these random sites can be trusted. Thanks.

OEM is hard to come by in decent price. Just get equevelent KYB, I installed rear KYB GR2 and they are awesome. You cen get them at THMotorsports.com , or even get Koni shocks. As for mounts OEM or aftermarket is same shet. Usually youll get good part that will last you 5-7 years. Don't be afraid to order online, it is only way to keep Lexus on the road for normal budget, stealership will rip you off. Even they use non Lexus contractors to make parts branded as Toyota or whatever, not everything is made in Japan bro. Shop around, THM is trusted, I ordered a lot of shet from them and always get it in 3 days and correct part.
