  1. I can't see why a low corner would be a failure if the tester couldn't find an actual fault. Mine had oil misting so it was obvious, although it didn't leak air! Also worth mentioning that detaching the air line is easier on the rears as you have more access. Another thing probably worth a mention is the pre and facelift models share the same struts if you're looking to buy used. There's nothing complicated about removing/refitting the suspension system on the LS430, apart from limited access on the front airlines.
  2. You could chance a used one. Removing the rear seat is nowhere near as bad as some suggest, you could do it in 15 mins. Remember the rear struts are handed, unlike the fronts which are the same.
  3. I've bought loads of parts from them, often saving hundreds. If you do buy from them choose FedEx economy and the Vat will be added so nothing else to pay
  4. Have you tried Rockauto in the US for complete assemblies? Even with shipping (which only takes about 5 days) it can cost a fraction of UK prices.
  5. The GS300 from that period can have problems with carbon buildup on the valves so I'd go for the lower mileage and treat it to an "Italian tune up" I had a 2005 GS and really should have kept it, a lovely car. They can suffer with dashboard rattles and creaks but it's all treatable fairly easily.
