Our take on the Unity Automotive Unity 2-13443-13444-001 Front Complete Strut Assembly Kit

This is a pair of fully assembled front struts for the 2011 Lexus GS300 AWD. Each unit ships with the coil spring, damper and mounting hardware already put together, so a shop can swap the old strut out without a spring compressor. It is an OEM-style replacement aimed at restoring stock ride height and handling, not at lowering or stiffening the car. The kit is priced as a budget alternative to Lexus dealer parts; check the current listing for the latest price against its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is this kit worth it versus buying struts and springs separately?
For most 2011 GS300 AWD owners, yes. The pre-assembled units cut installation time and avoid buying springs, mounts and hardware separately. If you want OEM-grade longevity, dealer parts cost more but last longer.
Does it fit both front sides of the 2011 GS300 AWD?
The kit covers the front position for the 2011 Lexus GS300 with all-wheel drive. Confirm your model year and drivetrain before ordering, since GS350 and RWD parts differ.
Do I need a spring compressor to install these?
No. Each strut arrives fully assembled with the coil spring and mount, so you unbolt the old unit and bolt in the new one. An alignment afterward is still recommended.
Will it change the ride height or handling?
No. It is designed for stock ride height and factory-style damping, so the car should sit and handle as it did originally. It is not a lowering or performance kit.
What is in the box?
Two complete front strut assemblies, each with coil spring, damping unit and mounting hardware. Reuse the original top nuts only if the kit does not include new ones.
When is the best time to buy?
Prices on strut kits move with sales and seasonal promotions. Compare the current listing against its recent price history and buy when it sits near the low end of that range.
