Hi everyone,
I have a 2004 120 grande that has recently started lowering the rear bags overnight and also in need of replacing all shocks.
Question is do I stay with factory electronic shocks on front and factory gear on rear and what's the cost? or should I go after market?

What's your thoughts?

Have a read through the suspension database in this section. Been covered eleventy six times already. Check some builds too and see what people think of their suspenders.

Ideally you need to replace your rear air bags as soon as possible to avoid damage of air compressor which is far more expensive.

If you decide to stay with the original suspension, a pair of original airbags will cost you around $700-800. Replacement is very easy. You will find here posts with detailed pics of how to do it by yourself. Also replacement of rear shocks easy as well. For a front ones you will need a special tool, unless you decide to change shocks + springs (you can get them assembled by Toyota).

Don't forget about wheel alignment (do it as soon as you replace front springs).

Good luck.
