cool, thanks for the advice. I'll be sure NOT to purchase.

What about green stuff break pads? My OEM pads squeal like little pigs, very irritating.

I dont think it's a good idea to mess with those....

1. possible warranty issue (even tho it's an useless unit)

2. If $135 can boost up your HP, I am pretty sure LEXUS would have done that ?!

Who said he (or anyone who asked) 'fell' for it? He saw a performance chip being advertized, and asked the question on a Lexus forum. What a dope, huh? There are such things as performance mods to ecu's -- just not for the Lex.

now ther is a few tricks you can do to get more power but they are not the best fot the car.
1 you can put a restor in inline with the air temp sensor so it will not ajust for air temp and you can have more power

Who said I was talking about the OP??? Have a seat and relax... I was referring to the fact of how well "performance chips" for the IS sell on ebay.
