Fix your 2003 - 2008 Lexus RX330 Air Suspension Conversion Kit (TG14F) Having air ride problems on an RX330? If you're here, you're at least kicking around the idea of installing a Lexus RX330 Air Suspension Conversion on your Lexus. If you're looking for a lower cost, more permanent option than spending $1,200 each on a single air strut, you've come to the right place. Most people don't realize that air systems are engineered to last right at 10-years before needing major repairs. You guessed it, just after the manufacturer and extended warranties are expired! You should keep a few things in mind before spending a dime on this old system. Bear in mind you have a total of 4 air struts on this Lexus that WILL need to be replaced sometime soon. If you do the math, it's $1,200 x 4 for only four parts of the system. This doesn't include the compressor, solenoid block, module, etc. You have to wonder if putting that kind of money is wise on a 10-year-old car. Whats the answer? Not only is our Lexus RX330 Air Suspension Conversion the ideal solution to permanently resolve all air suspension problems forever, but it also increases the reliability of the vehicle at 1/4 the cost!  This Lexus RX330 Suspension Conversion Kit Includes: Front and Rear Name Brand Strut and Spring Assemblies.
