Hey, thanks again for your answer. Apparently there is something else there causing the problem because even after the zero point calibration the front lights are still upper than before. So, I will read some more infos before doing anything else. Thanks again for the help, Cheers,

One more thing, that I forgot to ask in the first post. Normally after the shock is refitted to the car, should I do a zero point calibration? 'Cause I saw that the front lights have a different angle now, being higher that before, this causing problems to other drivers. Or is it something else here? Thanks again,

As far as I know, when you choose the F Sport package you can choose the lowered suspension or only the "look" package. If you want, you can buy the suspension later and lower the car a litte (3-4 cm) but on a price that is not so easy to accept. After I fitted the other shock absorber, I checked to see if there is any visual difference, but there is none.

Hello and thank you very much for the answers. A fitted the shock absorber with the code 48530-80416 and it's working ok. But there was a visible difference between the springs of the two shocks (the one from my car is more thick than the one that came from the other shock absorber. So, I changed the springs between the two shocks and now my car runs with its own spring but with different shocks on the back. I already made more than 100 km and run a little fast to see if there is any difference but didn't noticed any. If I would have found earlier the site recommended by Sveat, I would have bought 2 shocks already from there. But at the dealer they asked for almost 500 euros for one shock to change. And that seemed a little expensive for me, even if Lexus is a exclusive car. Thank you guys for your answers, now i'm a little bit satisfied with the option I took, but not sure 100% if it was the best I could choose.

Hello guys, This is my first post here. Sorry for the english, it's not my native language. I own a 2011 is220d f sport and have some questions regarding the rear shock absorber. I saw a little leak over the rear left one, and thought about changing it. From what i saw the code written on it is 48530-53250 (mark code- part code is 48530-80507), but i know someone who is selling a rear shock absorber for this car (is 220d), but with the code 48530- 53141(also mark code- part code for this one is 48530-80416). I was wondering if there is any real difference between these two, because from what i searched the shock absorber that is fitted on my car (48530-53250) is for the "TIRE & DISC WHEEL-X PACKAGE(18INCH ALUMINIUM WHEEL)" which honestly, I don't know that stands for ( I mean the difference between other packages). So guys, please, any advice about this would mean real help. Thanks in advance,
