Just wanted to let everyone know that i went to the sneak preview at the LA auto show tonight, and they had a section of F-sport products and they had the car on a turn table... Same exact set up as what javy posted so i find little use to post pictures.

I suppose the primary difference is the IS-F is under full warranty.


BTW, Can someone PLEASE tell me when the prices are out!? I want the struts and intake!

Doesn't matter what someone bought in the past. StopTech is the manufacturer for F-Sport and TRD. You cannot buy a StopTech labled BBK for the new IS...period. Oh, my source was StopTech when I spoke to a couple reps at their SEMA booth....and they displayed an F-Sport caliper and a TRD caliper. I think it is true.....

$450 for the intake, maybe a group buy can knock down the price a bit

Unless that second airbox hole actually goes someplace in the F-sport intake I can't see how it's worth almost $350 more than just throwing a Joe Z pipe on...unless you live someplace you MUST have CARB certification.

Exactly. Although the carbon ceramic brakes will be extremely expensive, they will save quite a bit of weight and likely offer improved braking performance over the already incredible stock brakes the IS-F has. IS-F owners dead serious about drag racing or carving up the track would likely be the ones considering the carbon ceramic brakes.

$1k for springs and shocks isn't bad right?

It isn't insanely high, but still not great. Aftermarket springs are probably $200, and I would expect adjustable Koni's to be $800. However, I doubt these will be adjustable.
