I installed new rear kyb SR4484 coil/struth assembly on my 2010 forester. The forester feels so much better, no noise or clunking.
I'd keep stock springs and go with some nice Bilstein struts/ shocks with new mounts. Wheels, tires, brakes, sound deadening, and a headunit would make a big quality of life improvement.
On my 13, I have bilstein with RCE yellows. Those are nice.
I used them on my ep81 starlet. Theyre fine. Think of them like oem struts, if not higher quality.
I saw the Bilsteins were in stock on RockAuto and picked up a set for the rear only.
KYB is the bee’s knees for Lexus. It’s OEM and will get it as close to new as you can get.
the KYB struts are just as good as OEM.
Ride height went up by 2” on the new struts, I’m not surprised the KYB equipment looks like it’s sitting taller.
There stiff i got them on my 2016 accord i replaced the 19in wheels with 17s and it kinda helped
I did KYBs and they were horribly stiffer in the springs on my Sonata (RIP).
