Danny, where's your suggestion to source front & rear bars for a late 2009 IS250?

Performed a bit of cleanup on the idiotic spam posts. Amazing how these users only posts are links to locksmiths outside the country.

Best off using a Lexus approved repairer... they should have proven their ability to colour match to Lexus' exacting standards: https://www.lexus.com.au/owners/find-a-repairer

Yep, already had FPR and airbag recalls done on my IS250 over the years. They send out a letter, then will ring you if you don't respond in a timely matter. Granted, Lexus usually only has the first owners' information so those who purchased used vehicles may need to enquire with a dealer if they don't have up to date ownership information.

Semi slicks... something along the lines of Toyo Proxes R888

Check out tyresales.com.au... prices seem a lot lower than $500/tyre for PS4 for an IS-F.

Wow, that's some difference in cost between an IS250 tyre and IS-F... I paid less than $900 for all 4 supplied, fitted and balanced.

Just bought some Pilot Sport 4 as well... only 1000km ago, but much nicer than the PS3 that were on it before. Super quiet in comparison. Haven't had time to compare anything else yet.

https://brakesdirect.com.au/ebc These guys are usually priced pretty well in comparison to other places. Not is Sydney, but they do ship out. I've bought IS-F brakes from them in the past.

Sounds like a dodgy burn. I have seen v22 on DVD-R work perfectly fine in a 2009 model. Perhaps try a different brand disc or burn speed.

Cheers, will check it out when I get home.

I've been waiting 3 days for email confirmation for a new account there... wondering if they're having issues. I run my own mail server, and I know for certain it hasn't even been sent from their end yet.

Damn, I would have been keen for an '09 Nav override in mine. If they work one out, I'm very keen.

Hah, John is hilarious... I recommend his YouTube channel.

I get most km out of a tank in this order: Mobil Supreme 98 BP Ultimate Shell V-Power I don't use Caltex... issues in the past have tainted my view of their fuel. V-Power seems to go "off" in around 2 weeks and the car can feel sluggish and ping. Haven't experienced this with Mobil or BP though.
