I noticed when looking at some common issues on the is250 the rear shocks leaking seems quite common, no big deal i thought until i saw how much they cost ! £200 each on euro car parts. Why are they so expensive ? i had a rear shock replaced on my 3 series few years back and the part was only around £80.

Euro Car Parts seem expensive. Use RockAuto.com to import aftermarket parts from the U.S. (probably £50ish each before shipping & taxes) or identify the OEM part numbers you need with toyodiy.com and source from amayama.com (although they tried to charge me a fortune in shipping costs).

Lexus retail is around £200.00 each for OEM so makes ECP expensive.

I don't think there is a big issue in shocks failing ... certainly not a common issue
