look at www. arnottindustries.com for aftermarket air shocks. The web site only list up to 1999. you might give them a call to check for your year.

iPhones can only type in CAPS?????? :D haha

parts.com if you want to stick with OEM.

If you want a sporty C/O setup. Teins are awesome. Megans are good and cheaper.

There is a manufacturer that makes AIR to SPRING conversion kits. I forget what company though.

LOL so funny

One word of advice though... Typing in ALL CAPS will stop A LOT of people from reading after 1 or 2 words... thus severely hindering your chances of getting the help you are looking for.

2005 already needing new airshocks? Unacceptable IMO. <_<

I have a 97 ls400 and converted to standard coilovers from Strutmaster. I like the way they handle compared to the air ride. I still have the air shocks off in my shop if you are interested they were never leaking the front right was rattling and driving me crazy but rears were fine. If you are interested e mail me chddent@Hughes.net

First check out whether it really requires replacement. There are criteria involved as to how much leak is involved. Check out this document as how the dealer does if it really required a replacement. This was the TSB issued by LEXUS for Shock Replacement Criteria.

I would cut my losses and switch over to springs and struts to replace the air suspension. It still will be pricey but much cheaper than new air shocks. Air suspension for Lexus and other car makers has never been reliable.
