Who makes the original struts and mounts for Lexus? Don't want to use the Napa or carquest products. Thanks.

Best quality aftermarket would be Moog. Look at your options on Rock Auto.

Toyotetsu.
Like Delco or Mopar in a way.
Toyota actually outsources a lot.
Rockauto will have toyotetsu or similar.

Second moog.
Suspension parts, spindles, bearings, balll jointsv and other parts Moog is probably the best non-oem choice. Better than many oem choices.

While others make good replacements they don't have the valving and such dialed in. What this means it may not ride like you Lexus afterwards. The old saying. you get what you pay for. What Lexus is it. If Toyota makes a similar product, such as ES350 vs Avalon, try getting a price on the Avalon struts since you will find more Toyota dealers offering online deals than Lexus.

Remember this, there is not a automotive manufacturer out there (Lexus, Ford, GM, Mopar, or any other) that builds struts/shocks. They are built by the lowest bidder for that series of car/truck.

Yeah but I don't want to pay the dealership price. For example, I got the timing belt off amazon as well as O2 sensors. We're original factory parts. Just don't know proper names of right ones for these parts because they are jap names I am not familiar with

Who is installing the struts? Do you want ride quality to be like OEM?
You have more options just buying the struts but it's a lot easier to install a strut assembly. Complete strut assemblies include the compressed spring and all the components required for strut replacement in a single, fully-assembled unit.

You should check the prices online at any large lexus dealer that has an online catalogue before you go aftermarket. Sometimes the parts are cheap...

I would recommend Moog as well. They make quality parts.
