For shocks I’d probably run a KYB AGX with a pedders spring if you can’t get something like an eibach

It seems most suggest KYB, but I have only found the Gabriel's to come loaded. Don't think I'm willing to add expenses by buying new parts to load the KYB. Price on the a Gabriels seems right at about $200ish all around so I'll likely bite on that one.

For years I used Gabriel brand shocks on my pickup trucks. Couldn’t tell the difference between them and Monroe shocks.

Pros: similar to Monroe shocks

Cons: none apparent

I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.

Cons: terrible luck

Vehicle: Lexus LS
