Default aftermarket struts/handling. A LOT of questions

I have 108k miles on my '06 350 and I was wondering if I should be replacing my struts around this time? Do I even need to replace them at all since its a lexus? Idk if this is the struts but since the time i bought my car (90k miles) every uneven spot on the road will take my wheel/car in that direction. It pulls my car crazy especially when im at a red light where there are uneven roads. not that i mind that it does that but im just wondering if thats what everyone elses car does.. If i do need to replace my struts whos a good company? Is Tokico any good? I did search the forums for strut info and found nothing so forgive if its already answered somewhere.

oh btw im looking to improve my handling so would stiffer struts do the trick along with some strut bars? Do fsport springs make a noticeable difference? Or should I go with even stiffer springs? if so who makes any? i really dont care how bad the ride quality gets from the stiffness. I dont track my car, I may in the future but I love the curvy roads in western Pa

OH almost forgot, anyone have any luck getting a custom exhaust made for them? im a cheap a## and dont want to pay $1500

thanks guys appreciate it.

Pass on the strut bars, give F-sport sway bars and BC Racing coilovers. Best bang for the buck suspension mods.
