I have a series 1, and comes up as Prestige for most insurers. Sometimes, However, it is included as an option to select manually. Mine has nav, Mark levinson, sunroof, sports pedals, starfish wheels. re2011 model, this may help: https://www.drive.com.au/car-review/lexus-adds-x-package-to-is-250-and-rx-range-in-australia-74494.html

Congratulations- I would love one of these myself!

I too have a 2008 250 x. If you need to replace the shocks think about KYB or Tein. Both available in Australia last I looked, which was only a couple of months ago. At that time, I went for KYB gas adjust due to price and the guarantee of ongoing support. Heard Tein was getting out of Australia. Pretty happy with the KYB. Btw I only replaced the rears, and at 200,000 plus km. Springs were fine. The advantage of the Teins is they can be manually adjusted to your liking. Despite their name, the KYB cannot. But for me, handling remains good and comfort a little better.

Heard good things about ps91. I recently got ps71 pair on the back of my 250. Not bad. Got great price from Bob Jane, price beat from Tempe Tyres. Stock size 255 40 18 with change out of $400 the pair fitted and balanced.

Thought about it, but a bit expensive. Ended up getting the kumho ps71s for $380 the pair fitted and balanced.

Dunlop sport max

Any love for nankang as-1?r

Cheers, will investigate

Sounds a pretty good deal, Bazzle.

Let me know how you go, Bazzle.

Hi all, looking for affordable rear tyres. No track, just road cruising and occasional mildly spirited driving if I find some curves. Have done some research, but user feedback is best. Happy for any suggestions, but cost is an issue. Some I am considering include (price high to low) kumho ps91 or 71 hankook h452 kenda kr400 davanti dx460. Also, should I get a wheel alignment at the same time? Front tyres are fine. Cheers

Ilv1004s, what is this piping you refer to? Sorry for my ignorance.

Anyone else got cheap, innovative mods like Pearlisf?

Thoughts on Tein EnduraPro Plus Shock Absorbers? Can get them for around $400 a pair plus installation.

Juliana, please let us know how you go with it.

Shocks only.

Reinvigorating this thread. I have a 2008 250 x version and soon will need rear shocks replaced. What are your recommendations these days? I believe it is sports suspension similar to the Sport variant that was around in the early years.

Hi guys. Looking at replacing rear struts in my is250x 2008. Like the stock sports suspension, so what would be a similar replacement to oem that is a bit cheaper?

Need a spare smart key fob for my is250. Any recommendations from Sydney to Newcastle. Happy to have second hand reprogrammed (if that is feasible) or non OEM.

I might need one and live just north of Sydney.

Yep, just working through options and availability of coin. Thanks guys.

Hi guys. My joy at becoming a recent convert has disappeared. My clutch went after 2 weeks of ownership. My local mechanic wants $4.5 k to replace and convert to solid flywheel. $4,800 to replace with OEM style. Any thoughts/comments. The car is immobile and on nsw central coast.

Hi all. Just got my first Lexus : IS250x 2008. Black on black with standard x wheels. Late middle age crisis..... Look out for dumb questions and grovelling for advice. cheers from the sunny Nsw central coast
