N/S/Rear coil spring

[Stig Lexus]

Can anyone suggest what N/S/R coil spring I can fit to my Lexus 430 (2002) as the coil spring has a broken section on the bottom, so it's failed its MOT and I can't find a replacement! Will one off any other car be compatible? if so what car/year etc. And is it a job I can do myself if I get a spring compressor or is it difficult to fit them to a 430SC?

Is it no longer available from Lexus?

Thanks for the info guys I have sent out a couple of emails to auto parts and euro parts to find out if they can suggest any alternatives, awaiting replies.

They are a small diameter spring so not difficult to compress, just be cautious as you tighten the clamps down .

A guy on another Lexus forum once fitted IS200/300 SPORTSCROSS rear shocks to a SC430, so springs could also fit…but do so at your own risk 👍🏻

That rear shock is for upto 2005 pre facelift, the facelift 2005 had a "pigtail" spring with a smaller coil at the bottom …see photo’s…
