hi my shocks are dead shot leaking etcs... my shocks are adaptive , what are my options for my water flooded rusty car , should i go with used shocks if i can find any? or brand new genuine ones, or is there any after market options for gs450h? My shocks are completely shot they are leaking and car is not is not stable its like a boat in the stormy sea....it goes to all directions when its driven..... pplease advice , people who sale parts told me only genuine shock they can sale but i think there is a after market option? My factory shocks avs adaptive dampers are made by kayaba Kyb, do they sale after market as well?

 

I would go for a new car at this point.
Seems like you have a new issue every week and you really don't like this car.

 

More like new issues every day.

 

i cant Afford an brand new and thats not a solution and option at all.

 

Get airbags and drive it slammed to the ground so no one can see the rust.

Seriously though, I've been following your post and this has to be the worst Lexus purchase in the history of mankind. At this rate, you're going to start asking about swapping out the dashboard, air vents, mirrors, etc.
Still boggles my mind that you bought this car knowing you cant get parts and there are no "Lexus" mechanics around you - but I wont reopen that topic.

If I were you and this was my situation, I'd just get rid of the car: Sell it, part it, junk it or whatever it takes to get it off my hands. By the time you're done restoring it to "decent" condition, you probably could've bought a brand new one.

However, to answer your question, there are lots of options with and without AVS. A simple search would've yielded numerous results for shocks and struts for your car. The biggest issue is that you cant seem to find or get parts so even if we made recommendations, it probably wouldn't mean anything. At this point, just get what you can source in your area.

 

Just get coilovers, probably cheaper than bags. Slam it all the way down and set it to the stiffest setting and wait for other parts to fall apart then replace them.

i have been in KAYABA europe site , koni and others not a single shock for my car... not sure if any exists...

i am looking for stock stuff adaptive shocks i dont care about brand as long as its reliable.. to my classical cars i also replaced several times shocks,
also its normal 11-12 years old and 200.000miles car to replace shocks thats normal thing some people replace them at 50-60k miles....
i want car to be comfortable i dont want stiff suspension i already have stiff suspenion in one of my classical cars its regulted shocks from Koni with adjustable stiffnes and height...


Restoration of my Gs is going in full speed ahead, i have brand working gearbox now, differencial and everything is almost complete...
with my seat repair i had an issue but it wont stop me now...

i will probably get new shocks , with used ones its a big gamble...

can someone write me brands of adaptive shocks for the car, i am not talking about bad shocks where you can make your car lower and i am looking for shocks without springs i already have springs.
i want my car to have avs what are my options?

 

Rear KYB 7240000
front left kyb 7210001
Front right kyb 7210000

These are the aftermarket KYB numbers.

 

Thanks a lot strangely they are not listed in Kyb europe web site?
Are These adaptive shocks and compatible with gs450h 4th gen

i checked out these shocks are available only in Usa or Canada.
Are there any other brands or models with adaptive and options for gs450h more widely available? It will take ages these shocks to be delivered and installed on me.

 

These are adaptive, I got part numbers off rock auto. A few guys have used these numbers to replace their shocks/struts without issues.

 

Where is the best place to buy them, cheapest possible price is it rock auto or something else

 

Bladest, what happened to all of your classic cars? You could have kept them running I would think cheaper than what you are spending on this. Too late, but never buy a flood car. Didn’t you ever watch Scotty Kilmer on YouTube? He would have told you that. Heck, anyone on this forum would have told you that. Aren’t there any Yugo’s you can buy over there? You keep asking for parts, kietlander gave you the part numbers. There is not much more we can do for you if you can’t get these parts where you live. Maybe that is why there is not a Lexus dealership in your country. Too expensive to operate there.

 

Sell this car to some other desperate fool in Bulgaria. Your going to have a lifetime of problems with this flood car. I don't think KYB has any published part numbers for the 450h. Those rear shocks have to factor in the weight of the hybrid battery that is within a foot of being directly over the rear axel.

i have driven my Classic cars every day, they are also converted to Lpg
So for me its way cheaper to use and operate with them, manual,stick shift gearboxes etcs... i keep them running yes, but its quite expensive to pay everything for 3 cars...
insurances taxes everything, fuel... yes way cheaper, only my summer tyres cost a small fortune... when you buy car without been able to see it, you always gamble..
even if you buy car imported here from auto place, they can cheat you, friend of mine bought recently car which had loss of power and eating a lot of oil, and have way worse suspension than mine...
and other issues....
it wasn not flooded but with also broken front window as well... so many issues.I WILL buy shocks from Usa, if i dont find in Europe, its very expensive to transport them...


As i mentioned many times before in Bg, people drive, bmw ,audi ,mercedesss they doesnt care much about other brands, specially Lexus. Since it doesnt exist here.
I so far spended small fortune for maintenance of the car... IN kAYBA usa, web site, when i write lexus gs450h,

they list these part numbers are shocks for me
according to KAYBA WEB site in Usa.
7210001
front shock left , 7210000 front shock right.. rear shocks part number 7240000
adaptive all of them. i plan to buy them from Usa even if shipping and custom fees are high.
So these are the part numbers from KAYBA USA, in europe if you check kayaba site, they give u 000 information and part number for the same car no idea why.
Tell me what do you think do you approve them?

Does anyone have any idea how much front shock for gs450h weight is so i can calculate my shipping and other pricing.

 

Just buy new OEM shocks for like... a bit over 1k eur, since you'd better swap the bump stops as well (and they're kinda expensive at the front since they come with the hat, afaik)? No, you don't have to ship from the states.
