Hi Sam,I purchased the complete rear air struts from Arnotts Industries for the Lexus LS400 90-92.

To put the first one in took about 1 hour but then second one we done half that time because you already have the back seat out and you know what needs to be done!

I am so happy with the results that i have to do the front next week.Was going to wait for 6 months but the ride is so much better that i cant wait that long!

Sent an email to ARNOTT AIR SUSPENSION and they said:

"We offer the air struts for a the Lexus LS400 which is comparable to the Celsior. Whether they will fit the Soarer, I am unsure."

We know they don't. They could not be bothered knowing. Helpful.

Yes, they definitely need some work on their customer relations.
$US113 shipping per strut, non-negotiable regardless of the number of struts purchased.
My wallet was right to quake....
May have to go back to the spring conversion kit?
