Welcome to CL. What year is your RX and how many miles are on it and what is wrong with the suspension? Do you have a 350 or 450h? AWD or FWD?
Searching is very easy using the box on the right side of the front page. What do you want to replace on your RX?
FYI many of us have used Bilstein struts and shocks as they are vastly better than the OEM or KYB or Monroe stuff. The B4 model line is equal to the base model that most have, the B6 model line is equal to the F-Sport line in that it is stiffer and handles better but still rides much better than any other F-Sport strut or shock. Sometimes inventory is scarce as they are imported. Here is my post from another thread that is linked below:
Bilstein B4 rear shocks, 19282862 - Rock Auto usually has them, or some of the other online sources. Same part number for both sides. This is an easy 2 bolt replacement job any local repair shop can do. They are around $60 - 80 each.
Bilstein B4 front struts[2], L, 22282668; R, 22282675 These are struts and are more complicated to install, but any shop can do it as struts are the same on every vehicle.
Get new strut mount bearings if doing this. It is no extra labor to replace them at the same time. Or new strut mounts. Only get Toyota/Lexus for the strut mount bearings or mounts. They are much more durable.
Remember when ordering Bilsteins:
The Bilstein front struts that fit the RX are those from the 2008-2013 Highlander. So the RX 3rd gen front suspension is the same as the 2008-2013 Highlander.
The Bilstein rear shocks that fit the RX are those from the 2014 -2019 Highlander. The RX 3rd gen rear suspension is the same as the 2014-2019 Highlander.

Thank you very much for the fast and concise reply.
my RX350 is 2013 model, base model.
I just feel it’s too soft already and there’s a slight squeaking at the rear left.
im from the Philippines and we don’t have Toyota Highlander. Is there any other options?
Thank you again.

The Highlander is also known as the Toyota Kluger in Japan and Australia. Or the Toyota Crown Kluger.
Maybe also in the Philippines?
That is all I know. You could look for and try some of the online Japanese parts sellers or Rock Auto in the US as I think they export. https://www.rockauto.com/
Or maybe an Australian online parts seller that exports as shipping would be less expensive than from the US.
