  1. Did the quote they give you include parts and labour or just parts? To give you an idea, the last time I did my front brakes: EBC Redstuff front pads: $165 RDA Rotors: ~$160? Can't remember exactly but was in that ball park. I fitted them myself so can't give you an idea of labour costs Admittedly they are for an IS250 but I don't think there is that much price difference between the 250 and 350 pads. Rotors may be a bit more expensive for the 350. I've also used Resma and Bendix Ultimate pads. The Resma pads are quite cheap (maybe around $100 or $120 for the fronts) but I found that they were quite dusty. Bendix Ultimate are dusty as well and not that cheap from memory.
  2. Wow awesome stuff!! Hows the power? I'm sure the noise will be sure to turn some heads.
  3. starts at 9 and at unique automotive at villawood according to the first post can be there in the morning but can't stay long. :(
  4. hey mate, give these guys a go: http://www.mobilealloywheelrepairs.com.au/ I used them to repair my IS-F wheels and if you have a look in the IS-F section, you will find some pics of my repaired IS-F wheels. They come to you and were the most reasonably priced out of all the places I went to.
  5. Seeing as you are getting to be around 12 months since the last time you serviced the car, I would get it serviced. You would want at a minimum to drop the oil out and put new oil in. The other items may or may not be required.
  6. Bc all the way. Especially for the relative ease of installation of coilovers over installing springs.
  7. I haven't had to replace my bulbs yet so not sure about brand. If it was me, I would just pull mine out and see what brand they were and get the same.
  8. Yes replace both bulbs. As soon as one goes, the other one will be on the way out in the not too distant future.
  9. I had gotten my IS-F wheels done by the Wheelman (see link from mikenbn's post). Their work is pretty good and I'm quite happy with how the wheels came out. Price wise, they were the most competitive out of all the places I went to and they come to you which is a plus. They can also do the repairs with the wheels still on the car. Anyways, pics or it didn't happen. Rear left wheel: https://lh3.googleus...o/s693/2013 - 1 After repair: https://lh3.googleus...w/s693/2013 - 5 You can see that there's no more scratches on the spoke but there's still a few scratches around the stamped bit. He didn't want to eat into it too much. You can't tell unless you are right up close though. Rear right wheel: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-i-QZUSY3w_g/USNwYGQoWhI/AAAAAAAAANA/Fw88X0hD3Ug/s902/2013+-+5 After repair: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-C0c4P5UbLGI/USNvx7KSjVI/AAAAAAAAAKg/gdCp1FLel54/s902/2013+-+2 The front wheels weren't too bad. There were only some minor scuff marks which they got out pretty easily. Forum wouldn't let me upload the photos for some reason, but hopefully the links work.
  10. in a nutshell, most probably will need to roll your guards and do that fender tab mod that is all over clublexus if you are lowered. would help if you stated which vossen wheels you were looking at.
