Hello. I'm Paul, and I live in sunny Portugal. I am second owner of a Is 250 from november 2005. It is my first Lexus ever and despite the big mileage ~260.000 km and crapy care of previous owner I just love the damn car. Had many German brands before,Butnari tais is the first car that Really gives me great feelings. Love the lines, all the gizmos (has all of the extras including adaptive cruise control and so on) comfort and quality of built. Unfortunately like many really disappointed with the local mechanics in Lexus dealership. I am a mechanic my self ( Harley Davidson) but because I really lack time I am still looking for someone to take care of my "Brutus". Anyway sorry for the long description but just to say Hello to you all, and much apreciated for the help in overcoming certain headaches.

New here, and owner of a 2012 IS350 AWD in Starfire Pearl. I bought the car in June with 14k miles and am definitely enjoying it. So far, have added the F-Sport intake, F-Sport Front/Rear sways and full F-Sport suspension. Definitely appreciate the wealth of knowledge here when looking to add new parts. Thanks!

Thanks! Will post some once I get a wash in. Just had suspension work yesterday and posted in the F-Sport/unavailable thread. Was sent a wrong shock in one of the properly labeled boxes and awaiting the replacement.

Looks good bro, just dont like how being sport type springs they dont go a bit lower then that to close the fender to wheel gap. But you can always run 18" to help a bit. But looks good.

Thanks and yeah I agree. Wish I could set it where yours is at. But much better than it was stock, and kinda limited with AWD and quality parts.. Looking at 19's now, but difficult to tell how it will look after dropping the $$$
