Default 2011 es350 suspension

Recently traded 2000 LS400 for 2011 ES350. Has 60k and after traveling my normal work route realized the suspension has ton of body roll and very soft. Having had 2 rental vehicles recently the KIA optima and ford fusion, I am really disappointed in this ES. Reading up I find it appears to be the soft springs. Any recommendations on replacement springs or replace struts. Does anybody believe 60k is time to replace the struts?

That is kind of what make the ES350 the ES350 is that it is "Super Soft" and quiet. Most people buy it for that reason.

Do some searching for posts by folks that installed Camry springs and stiffer aftermarket struts. I would also swap out the sway bars for Camry SE sway bars which are stiffer. That route may give you the most bang for your buck. Some have installed the Camry SE springs and struts.


here are a few recent threads. Here are links.
