welcome to the forum we have a newcomer section for all introduction ill move it there

cosmetic upgrade? where are you getting all this info from the cars new from the ground up all suspension geometry and chassis layout has been changed

junior4 FYI http://au.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/8365-the-is250-suspension-thread/

che ryan is using tanabe springs which was supplied by me

1. they dont have to be ceramic all round but it is recomended (just change them as the way you go) 2. Yes disc machining is generally a good idea when your changing pads regardless though with the ceramic pads you would want to upgrade the rotors to something stronger than OEM as ceramic can eat through the rotors pretty quickly when pushed 3. Yes Ebay readstuff is cheap and they are genuine, they are cheap because they dont not have store upfront cost and stock holding fees 4. A lexus mechanic is still a lexus mechanic if they can do a brake change on a normal car then they can do it on a lexus

if memory serves me right the X uses the Sports suspension out of the 2005-2009 on the serise 1 IS250' after seeing a number of X in our club and comparing them to stock height X vs Sports vs Sports lux vs Presteige the X and the Sports were virtually same height not noticeable unless you put them next to each other (X vs Presteige) and no im not talking about the X's in the later serise 3 this test was done way back when the X's first came out

bendix is okay for pretty much any car but not performance orientated but its a good idea to have a matchin set of Front and rear brakes

For sale is BBS LM Reps in 19" bought these wheels off menty last week to fit them on my car but they ended up being too agressive So im selling them i just want what i paid for them They are reps but hard to get in these offsets 19x8.5 +15 19x10 +20 (clears big brakes and brembos) ill post pics up tonight Will ship intersate at at buyers expense I just want 1.1k which is the price i paid for these this will fit the new GS old GS and the IS350 and ISF offsets are suitable for big brakes

very good review considering these guys are/were lexus bashers but for pros and cons pretty much same as before 335 more tuneing abilitiy but lexus has definately stepped up the game and starting to take over the germans play ground

Difference between a x and a standard model is not considerate Possible that you might have different suspension

wow nice wheels mate

theres a few in the 17-18K region im sure after some haggling you can have it for 15k

how many kms do you have? i have a set of stock shocks out of a SL with 20K kms on em pm me if your intrested

other members who have done it may chime it but its pretty simple but you need another mate to help u

how many kms u got on your car?

wats ur budget? get the RX350 if budet allows much better car same looks

sorry wrong video

well if your unsure maybe you can try what i usually do when i buy a used car 1. Full engine flush 2. Brake fluid flush 3. Radiator flush 4. LSD/Gearbox oil flush 5. Throttle body clean 6. Upper engine clean for carbon build up (for Direct inejction cars)

yeah its been a while exterior nearly finished

this has been done on a members car before it was hooked up to the 100% drl wire and the puddle lights

that seems pretty normal the IS doesnt use conventional power steering its electronicly assisted which means there is no fluids or belts hence it doesnt have that unwinding effect

well you can just use subaru upper engine cleaner (buy it from a subaru dealer or ebay) first thing ill do is that and then move on to the injectors injector cleaning cost alot and generally dont foul up that easily on a late model car

try using upper engine cleaner being a direct inejction car you will have alot of carbon build up

alrighty looks like sevenhills it dyno day will be held around august will prizes for best 250/350/F power outputs with prizes

That will be the first thing ill be doing and then move up to changing mirrors and stuff
