Hello everyone. I have been building up my IS and have definitely had some help along the way from a few members on here and in the community.
@specONE @350phi @mikeforsythe

Modifications List
  • I have currently done all the TOM'S Racing bracing for the car only piece I havent done is the rear one for the rear struts yet but eventually will grab it.
  • I did upgrade to the anniversary GSF Brembo brakes in the burnt orange colorway with the 350phi adapter for the rear. Stainless steel brake lines all around.
  • Upgraded to the project mu brake pads all around and I have to say I am loving the very minimal if any brake dust
  • custom circuit breaker fuse holder done by markland designs
  • odyessy battery since I am running bags
  • airlift 3p management with airlift bags
  • SPC camber arms for rear just in case I need them

too low for my personal taste, but man, wheel and color combination are so damn sweet! I bet that thing looks awesome rolling down the road. what are the specs on the build? This is more of a gallery post than a build thread

Are those stock calipers painted red or are they aftermarket mods? Coil overs or did you cut the springs? I just picked up my 2021 IS350 F Sport and not sure what the suspension is. I just came out of a Gen 5 Taurus SHO with H&R lowering springs.

pretty sure the car is on bags. Who still cuts springs esp on a brand new $60k car?

The car is on air suspension. You can see the Airlift controller in one of his interior pics
