Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well with the group. As usual I'm here for advice because I know several of you are the real deal. I have a 2008 ES 350 with 115,000 miles. I need to replace the rear struts. A few people, not mechanics, have said I should replace the front struts at the same time as the rear so the car will ride really well. What is your opinion? Thanks so much.

It's recommended to replace struts in pairs- get KYB struts

Yep, no need to do all four.
The rear in our prior gen ES went out WAY before the front. The car is now up to 335k and the while I have replaced the front shocks/strut cartridges once w/KYB, the springs, mounts, etc. are still original and doing A-ok.
