  1. Hey guys, thanks for everyone's suggestion. I end up getting the parts from partsouq.com I was refer to this by a friend who have ordered from there. At first it looked kind of dodgy (especially on Google it's address is at United Arab Emirates :o ), so I went throught many different car forums and found people have order from there with excellent experience and very good price. I end up getting the two rear OEM struts, and shipped to Sydney (FedEX to my door). All for under $500. The best part was I ordered this last Sunday 16th, and got it on my door 3 days later on 19th!!! I have no idea how is that even possible not even taking into account the low price. Anyway now I just need to find some reasonable place to install them. Called up a few places, some won't do it because they afrid of warranty issue. Other want me to bring the car in for a " quote" Can anyone suggest anyone or good place that they have used? I have also been told by a Lexus dealer the 2011 IS350 Sports Luxury Shocks are not the same for my car.
  2. plankton007, I might be interest in the shocks as long as I can confirm they are the same as the 2006 IS250 SL. Anyone else know if there are difference?
  3. Hi guys, My left rear shocks have been leaking for a while and am considering replacement options. I'm rather happy with the sport luxury ride and the height. I'm looking at ONLY replacing the rear shocks. Primary aim is keeping the same ride/height of the OEM sport lux (baby/toddler ride, no more full firm sportier ride for me for now). I have follow question hoping someone can help me. 1) Does anyone know the difference between sport luxury and non-luxury model? - Are the difference in the shocks, spring, or both? I'm considering the following options: 1) replace with a pair of rear OEM shocks - do I just need standard IS250 rear shocks or are the 2006 Sports Luxury have their own different shocks? 2) replace with F-Sport rear shocks ONLY - keeping Sport luxury oem front shocks+springs, and rear oem spring. - Anyone tried this? - Would the OEM rear spring be compatible with F-sport rear shocks? - is it ever too early to introduce sport handling excitement to my 18 months'o son? Thanks heaps in advance guys!
  4. LEX51S, sounds good. I'm due for my 90k service soon, can you tell me so how much you pay for all this?
  5. Just a FYI as I'm also due for a 75000k service. Here is the quote I got for Lexus of Chatswood and Ultra Tune: Quote from Lexus of Chatswood - $498 *incl pick up and delivery and loan car on the day *free car wash once every 4 weeks Quote for Ultra Tune Logbook service $440 *Non Lexus parts (fuel filer) I'm surprise with the Ultra Tune price I thought it would be a fair bit lower then that. What do you guys think? With the above price look like Lexus of Chatswood is quite competitive. Do you guys know of any other places with cheaper price?
  6. Hi, I recently purchased a second hand 2006 plated IS250 Sports Lux. Many people have mention to me their side mirror tilt on reverse but it doesn't happen on mine. Does it only come with car in later years model? Also I wonder if there is a option for the side mirror to close automatically? Cheers
