We'll see that when the NX is out 8-)

It looks like the absorbers are the same for RX300 and RX400h (4WD)... While the weight is quite different between the cars (>600 pounds).

The roads around here are quite bad too (I don't know how they are in your part of UK).
Maybe it can explain the difference in the feeling?

I'm going for KYB (if I can find them).

The very funny thing is KYB France doesn't even import them... They don't exist in their catalog!

I'm not interesting in a "two inches lowering suspension kit" from our US friends.

Nor transforming the whale into a hopping/bouncing car 8-)

They're 175'000 km old.

They're obviously more flabby on cornering and especially breaking that they were last year: I have a little breaking test I do for all my cars and the whale (that's its nickname) is really plunging on breaking.

The problem with shocks/springs is they wear out quite slowly and you don't notice the change. Until you replace them.

@BoxBrownie: thanks for the link, I sent them a message.

Hello from France.

I drive a 2006 RX400h 4WD (now a bit more than 100'000 miles) and I'd like to change the shocks and springs (and everything that goes with).

I've check with all spare parts sellers in France...
These are not available.

Some may have them in their listing but "not available", the majority just answers "not even exist".

Is it the same in the UK?
Can anyone point me to a parts seller who can sell these?
