Hey question for anyone in the know... I'm doing the is350 awd front brake upgrade setup so I bought a set of gs350 awd front calipers is350 awd front rotors is350 front dust shields and I'm looking at getting new brake pads for front and rear is350 awd and rwd use the same pads in the front? And are is250 and 350 rear pads the same? Any help would be appreciated thanks... Also I just bought a new set of staggered concave rims str 607s 18x 8/9.. I pick em up on wed... Hopefully I'll have the brakes done by then... Thanks guys

I think it looks great. One comment about the engine cover though. The F-Sport decal/badge does not look better than when it had the "L" logo.
I like them better than the one's you have on now. Looking forward to the pictures!

Thanks guys really you like the Lex emblem on the engine cover better then the fsport one? Interesting thanks... I got the fsport front and rear sway bars installed today I'll do the front brake upgrade this week and the rims will go on after that.

Lol yeah I know there is the fsport cf engine cover but the difference is... Mine $170 f sport $600+ depending where u buy it lol idk got the calipers all painted and the slotted rotors delivered today just waiting on my pads and dust shields and they will go in... I'm also going to tackle installing my s4play rear diffuser this weekend finally... I just can't seem to come to a final decision on placement on it... The further "out" you place it the more holes I need to drill into the bumper which I don't want to do but the further back you place it it makes it very hard to see so idk I'm kinda lost on what to do and that's why Its taken this long for me to install it. Getting my rims 2mro which I'm so excited about but they'll hafta wait until tire rack sends me tires and I'm just praying the slim barrel in those concave rims clears the big 350 front calipers. I'll keep u guys updated.

Ohhh yeah and also just to update... I finally got to take the car on a nice mountain cliff side twisty road yesterday b4 my hockey game and man with the fsport sways in there it is night and day difference of handling body roll etc... Makes everything feel so much tighter and more controlled. Def the most difference making mod I've done yet. Hopefully the 350 calipers will be the same way... Looking for a Noticeable difference in stopping distance and brake feel.

When I had that engine cover I used the L logo because I think it flows better than the F badge you have on there. The circle and the square don't match.
The rims are a huge difference that what you have on there now. I hope the brakes for on there with the new wheels. Did you ask about that when you bought them?
The sways DO make a huge difference! The most of anything I believe, even though I had a bunch of other braces. Coming along nicely.

I asked if the rims would fit an is350 and I was told yes but I don't trust sales people they'll say anything to get your money... Oh yeah sure sure they'll fit... and then I'll get home rip the car apart put the brakes on and next thing ya know they don't lol its just my luck... I've been trying to find someone on here w an is350 with str 607s or cv3 vossens in 18" to see if they had any issues but everyone goes huge 19" 20" etc... so idk guess I'm so far along and have so much bought at this point that I'll just have to hold my breath and pray lol it'll look good if they do tho... Ha if they dont ... Ugh idk yet thanks for all of the input and everything... I just don't understand why everyone doesn't like the BBS wheels... I thought they were hot In matte black... I'm gonna put em on my girls Rsx after I get the 607s on my car.... I agree the new rims are much nicer deeper concave staggered etc but I still like how the BBS rims look.. I've gotten nothing but negative comments about them on here and I can't figure out why... Lol oh well
