I looked earlier this year. Amayama was showing as available but when I ordered they told me "not available" and have since changed their status on the web site.

I managed to find 2 front ones but no rears from New Zealand, and another member also found 2 fronts and one rear but couldn't find that last one. I think he used the local Toyota dealership.


I would have bought rears also if I could.

I bought some of the last ones for a customer.

I think he got the last rear left.

Might be some front ones left.

Rear right is discontinued.

The dates on these 'new' struts were 2006, so they've been out of production for a while.

Is there any evidence that the rears last longer than the fronts?

Not that I've seen.

In used ones I've removed all the top screws had oil (under tems screw) in the thread section, suggesting seal failure.

The bags last for decades, but the internal struts fail in half the time, in my option.

Interesting to hear that they do not stock, it's not as though every soarer had airbags suspension. Didn't they make many as spare parts. I doubt there were many made

I did some search a while ago with figures from JP Toyota sources and others around the net.

Seemed to suggest just over 150k world wide Z30s built from 1991-2000

This includes Japanese and USA Lexus models.

Figures should be:

UZZ32:873
UZZ31:10387
UZZ30:55733
JZZ31:47518
JZZ30:36915
Total: ~151,426
