Best price on accumulator globes in 2024?

[Slap Back]

Just flushed and filled the AHC. I'm getting 7 gradations. The raising and lowering is responsive, doesn't hesitate and operates well. But the ride is still lacking. I can feel every little imperfection in the road. Just knowing that it can be better is driving me nuts, lol.
So I ordered a cheap laptop and the OBD cable so I can, hopefully, see if pressure settings are in spec. Beyond that, I'm expecting to replace the globes. These days, there's Partsouq, Impex, Amayama, Amazon, dealerships and Ebay. Maybe some less traveled parts of the internet. All of these places have different prices for the globes. Some look to be aftermarket and at a good price while others are up there.
What do you trust? This is for a 2007 LX470 w/188k.

The go to is Impex. I would not buy from a dealership ($$$), amazon (don't trust them), or Ebay (trust).

Due to import laws downunder in the land of Oz, I couldn't use Impex or Amayama. This seller on eBay has a very high feedback rating, and I can confirm the 4 globes I bought are genuine:

Toyota Lexus Genuine LX470 LAND CRUISER 100 98-07 4SET SUSPENSION ACCUMULATOR | eBay

I purchased four globes last month from JDM Planet (Japan). Cost with shipping was $709. The shipping alone was almost $200.

Incidentally, I checked part #49151-60010 on Impex and they list both a Toyota and Lexus part (same number) and the Lexus part is about $20 more!

I'd go Impex Japan. ~$112 per globe. Shipping will be about another $100.

These folks are over 10 percent lower than Impex, 14880 yen versus 16600 - Search - 49141-60010 - https://www.parts-sale.jp/index.php?route=product/search&search=49141-60010 Some brave soul should give them a try. Check the freight cost obviously.

I would advise staying away from Impex. if you have a problem, which I did, their customer service is non-existent.

You had problems buying globes from IMPEX?

I’d like to order a set from IMPEX but shipping disclaimer has me nervous.

I don’t even recall the disclaimer, what is it? I’ve made lots of purchases (easily over $5k) from them and never had an issue.

At what point should you replace the globes? My 05 AHC still works, but the ride is no where near as smooth as it was when new.
