Does any one know if the 2007 Ls and the 2013 Ls suspension are the same or interchangeable?

I wondered the same thing. My mom just got a new '13 and I bought her '07. I've got a fairly good eye for under car stuff having done tires and alignments for 30 years or so. I've had a good look under both cars with good light.
I can see no design changes at all in the suspension itself, front or rear. The front subframe looks a little different where the steering rack attaches. Because the '13's a major mid-cycle refresh I'd guess many suspension parts have changed bushings and therefore different part numbers. Some subtle geometry changes are likely but not easily seen.

I read that Lexus claims 3000+ parts are new on the '13. I'd guess most of those involve the new dash and interior along with front and rear facias.

I suspect all the common parts that are known to fail have had a slight redesign but the geometry is all the same. Things like bushings and maybe something with the air struts but I have not confirmed any of this. Makes sense if they did because they've paid out a lot of dealers that have changed out these parts under warranty

Cause I was wondering if I could take the air struts from a 2013 and put it in a 2007 (wanting to know if it's a direct swap).

I was reading the 2008 & 2013 LS460(L) Production Information and notice that the Ground Clearance for 2008 with air suspension is 5.7 in. and 2013 F Sport with air suspension is 4.7. However, for the 2008 LS460 (L) RWD & AWD with standard coil suspension is 6.1 in. and 2013 LS460 (L) RWD & AWD with standard coil suspension is 5.1 in.

The struts will go in but the air management is not gonna swap into your car. You'll be better off doing an aftermarket setup.

My 07 have the air suspension, just wondering if the 2013 will be direct bolt on(just the air shocks).
