RX450h MkIV Shock Absorbers

[CT200h-TL]

Hi,

I noticed the RX450h MkIV (2016 on) shock absorbers costs >£300 each for the front and >£600 each for the rear based on my search at lexuspartsdirect.co.uk. Meanwhile, the other SUVs such as the NX and the Mk3 Rx450h costs <£100 each front or rear (apart from the air suspension option). I can't seem to understand the significant premium for the MkIV RX shock absorbers if they are not air suspensions? With such a heavy SUV, the shocks may have a shorter lifespan and I dread to imagine the costs to replace the shocks at the dealers...

Your probably find these have adjustable shocks years ago you would have the shocker with a small motor on top which would turn's a shaft in the shock increasing the firmness of the shock controlled from the dash area it's a gimmick reinvented from 30 years ago daihatsu had them on there fortrack 4x4  .i forgot to add still cheaper than air suspension for the coil fanboys 😏
