It's a volume thing - the LS430 is a relatively rare car, air suspension is a relatively rare option (only available on the top two trip levels), and the replacement parts are only available through lexus.

For the price of 1 air shock replaced at the dealer, you can get an independent mechanic to put the car on conventional suspension and it'll still ride good enough on smaller wheels.
