What is the replacement to 2011 ES350 Suspension?
Is it struts all around?
Some people tell me the front are shocks and the back are struts, I can't figure it out. Looking for any help. I'm thinking KYB is the way to go, but what if I want something sportier?

Welcome to Club Lexus.
It has struts in front and rear.
You should learn to use the search feature as this has been covered before.

Yes, this has all has been covered before. The 5th generation ES350 (2007 thru 2012) has the SAME front and rear suspension design (shock struts with integral springs with stabilizer bars). BUT.......in the 2007 thru 2010 years the part numbers are not all the same at least for the front suspension struts and springs, if I remember correctly (early P/Ns were replaced with different P/Ns). 2011 and 2012s used the same P/Ns. I believe the 2011 and 2012 front suspensions were "stiffened up". With the ES 350 a "more sporty" feel can be helped by ensuring that you use "93V" rated tires (OEM) (not "H" rated) and increasing the tire pressures to 32 to 34 psi. I don't believe that 30 psi is enough for a 3600 lb. car on 215/R55 tires unless you drive like an old guy. Always monitor your tire tread for wearing evenly and adjust tire pressure accordingly.
