Lexus air ride struts, $1500 EACH!?!?!

Are you ****** kidding me? My wifes RX330 has a popping sound coming from the front end when you turn in reverse, then go forward. I take it into the dealership and they told me its a bad strut. $1500! The car is equipped with air ride, and this was offered up to me as the reason for the expense, but I've found the OEM strut available for a bit less than $900. $600 to replace a strut? Isn't that like 2 hours max per wheel (I was thinking less....)?

I have found non-air replacement options for way, way less. Why not just ditch the air ride and convert to standard struts? Anyone dealt with this crap before?
