Yes, Lexus redesigned the control arms (basically replaced the bushings with better ones) is the short answer.

Resurrecting an old thread... Did anything change underneath the car between these model ranges? Or was it only cosmetic upgrades?

So will parts such as headlights from the 2010-12 fit on the 07-09 and will the side mirrors with blinkers function on the 07-09, also I heard that if you get the 5 spoke rims or the 9 spoke rims the transmission is specifically tuned for that size wheel🤷‍♂️ and that if you switch it will cause the check engine to appear. Can you shed any light on this?

Wheel sizes (tire+alloy) are standard across both models, R18 and R19. No outer diameter change if correct matching tire is used (245/45 for r19 e.g.). No transmission differences.
No, headlights will not fit. Washers are in the bumper on 10-12.
There are lots of differences, like different network protocols, camshafts and related parts are upgraded, suspension and diff too.
