Hey guys, need a bit of help. I've been umming and ahhing about springs ever since i got the damn car but financial reasons and the fact i live with a steep driveway and constantly take a full load of passengers made me always question it... But want to know what's going to give me a reasonable drop without me scrubbing on my current set up taking into account potential full passengers etc.. I have the ISF style wheels staggered fitment 19x8F and 19x8.5R with 235/35F and 255/35R tyres. I currently already get a little bit of scrub on the inner front wall guard when I turn the wheel about one full turn. Just worried that a bigger drop could be a problem. Which springs will suit me best?

Lexus *BLEEP*ed my mirrors up too, I told them to fix it and then they blamed it on me and said I broke them, quoted a stupid price to do so as well.. now my right mirror struggles to position itself and my left one doesn't work at all. So I thought, *BLEEP* it, I'll just use my fingers to reposition them, so I just adjusted it manually haha. Not sure if my car was meant to have the auto-tilt feature but never did since I was the owner.. so eh

Hey guys, just curious is it possible to use an after market camera with the Mark Levinson NAV unit?

Hey guys, up for sale is my beloved Lexus. Reason for selling is due to wanting an F-Sport variant upgrade. Looking for a quick and honest sale, price is negotiable. Year: 2009 Model: IS250 Badge: Prestige Kilometres: 90XXX Colour: Graphite Location: Mornington, Victoria. Price: $32,500ONO Key Features: Sunroof, HID headlights, Darkest legal tint, FlyAudio GPS/DVD/Bluetooth/Reverse Camera unit, heated/cooling seats. Other features as standard such as cruise control, electric seats... The car is in very good condition, has recently been detailed by Affinesse so paint is in prime condition. The car will be sold with the stock wheels not the ISF style ones as shown in the photos (stock wheels shown in photo as well). The car comes with 2 sets of keys and a full service history report from Lexus of Brighton and has never missed a beat mechanically. Car also has slotted rotors and bendix brake pads that have recently been installed. Car is kept in a garage every night and is washed twice a week, and very well looked after. Second owner through family and both non-smokers. Car is located in Mornington and 80% of KM's on the car are freeway and highway kilometres (Peninsula Link/Monash Freeway). Any other questions feel free to contact me : 0412 036 999

Thanks man! Yeah we made a new group on facebook from our latest meet, 15 members so far. Mods on here didn't appreciate us creating a page so it's available upon request, I don't want to 'do the wrong thing' by posting it here. No I haven't thought about getting black ones, I think the ones I have now suit nice, do you think the black ones would look better? I've never thought about it!

Hey Gihan, just select 'attach' when posting a reply (use 'more reply options') and attach photos :)

My car after being detailed at Affinesse a couple of weeks back! Amazing service! Previous owner sucked at taking care of it so I thought I'd fix it up :) Front bar still needs a slight respray on the lip, but I'm happy with how it turned out! Tein S-tech is next on the shopping list hopefully! :) Still waiting on a 'provider' Lexus of Brighton referred me to for my FlyAudio map update...it's been over 2 months and still no new maps or word from him...bit disappointed, but yeah that might be it for the IS..

Safe to say it was a good day out! Good to meet and greet and the little cruise we had later to St.Kilda was nice! Definitely great things to come! Photos will be up as soon as people who attended post them! :P And, apologies for the FB page with the "Lexus Australia" tag, I didn't mean anything wrong from it Steve. The guys who all attended today agreed on creating a 'Group' on Facebook for easier posting and quicker responses for DIY help, tips, advice, photos and news as meets are going to be organized hopefully once a month now and all other general things. As I'm not allowed to post this on the site due to risk of offending the webpage, the link for the page is available upon request and is in no way affiliated with the 'AU Lexus Owners Club' team. Contact either myself or LXISF for details :) Good stuff today guys! Good to see some other great IS's out there!

Hey mate, I've got a FlyAudio unit installed. I had it installed when I bought the car. There's no bluetooth audio playback with my unit, only for phonecalls. Easy interface looks OEM in every way, some ups and downs but I guess that's with every unit. Major annoying thing is there's no clock on the unit, only on the screen if that makes sense. I'd still happily swap my FlyAudio unit with an OEM Navi any day though.. that's just me though haha :)

Lexus page guys! Let's get this started! Invite everyone !! :) I'll make the event and get everything up and running! Be sure to like the page :) We'll also use this page to help build a huge community that's very active for help and promote future events and meets. Also, link to the FB Event page with all details for meet: Thanks again LXISF!

FB Page made, give me a second to share the page. I'll make an event too so everyone can be more organized

so what date are we setting? Can we make it in a few weeks so I can notify work to try get a day off? I need at least 2 weeks notice..I really wanna come :( haha

No, don't do Sundays or Saturdays because I'm working :( Unless it's in the afternoon after 5.

Hey guys just need some advice on lowering my car I've never done it before but after a while of debating I want to do it but do it right... I'm trying to get the 'guard slightly above tyre' look without having to roll my guards... I've thinking of two options to lower my car... 1- F-sport springs and shocks (Around $1200ish excluding installation) 2- BC BR Coilovers ($1200ish excluding install) I understand that coilovers will give me adjustable height but I'm not sure what else I'll need in regards to camber and all that stuff... I thought about changing just the springs to F-sport ones but understand that my comfortable ride will be sacrificed without getting the shocks.. Question is really... what's the best way to lower the car without sacrificing ride comfort and without having to worry about possible future problems? If that makes any sense... lol. Please help! haha

Well guys just as an added event, a couple of us are going to the Frankston HWY meet this Friday 13th December. If you do come post here, and let's try to park together. A future meet will also be made but let's try to attend the one tomorrow as well
