Unfortunately they are dealer supply only.

One of mine has just snapped on a 2011 RX450h. Unfortunately the bottom bolt has also seized (carrier to hub) and they will need to cut it off.

The bolt has taken nearly 3 weeks to come but they have also had to order a replacement hub as if it damages the bush the bolt goes through this is not a separate item but attached to the hub, meaning nearly £800 in parts alone rather then just a spring and bush.

If anyone has an RX450h especially an older one I would advise you check these lower bolts to make sure they are not seized and if they are not then keep them greased or replace them asap.

Well managed to sort it with a second hand spring from eBay off a 2013 model for £13.50 delivered from Lithuania, took an hour to replace it. 3 bolts to take off, push the carrier down, spring out and in and bolts back on no problems.

Did the 2013 spring fit the 2010 model ok?
