I've just traded in an LS460 for an RX450h. It's like driving around in a bouncy castle. Is there anything that can be done to soften the suspension?
It's the Luxury model. I guess in hindsight the Advance might have been a better choice as that has air suspension I understand. Or is that just as bumpy?

I haven't. I'll get them checked next week. Although replies that I've had elsewhere would suggest that I might find the RX ride on the hard side, particularly as I'm used to the LS range.

I would recommend to check the rear shocks for leaks, that could make the rear end bounce a lot after any bumps. Check your tire pressure, should be at 32-33psi. Check your tire date codes and condition. Dry, old, and/or cheap tires will make it ride like crap.
What year and mileage is your RX?

There is a huge difference between an LS and an RX suspension setup, especially if the LS had air suspension. I drive an ES350 and I noticed the RX450h has a firmer ride for sure of the same year with regular struts.
