Hey all. I've been a lurker on these forums since before I put in my special order.

Well now it's finally in and I'm officially part of the club

Meet ISabelle, my first official car purchase - a 2010 IS350!

First: Window tint and rear sway bar
Second: Five-Axis R5:f when they're finally released.

Woo! It sure is a fun ride! Going from a 2000 Toyota Tacoma to a IS is a big change!









I'm unfortunately a little bit of a worry-wort about the car payments. I've never had one and being a hefty one for the first time is a bit unnerving. I can afford it, so the worry will hopefully go away soon!

If I were you I would do:

1. Coilovers
2. Wheels

Individual

Maybe the first on here?

I've seen a few IS350's come into our Service Department's service drive rolling on 17's. I would have a double take when I see one; I look at the rear emblem first and then the brake calipers and then have this look

Congrats on your new IS.

Mods wise, I'd go with coil overs or springs and a rear sway bar. Then maybe intake and exhaust.

Thanks all

Dude - Newport Lexus was basically throwing them at me. I had 4 total, that one being the last. I had to stop and relieve myself on the way home (hour+ drive, I live in San Diego and Newport is in OC)

Custom order. Why pay extra for the wheel upgrade when I'll eventually be changing them out anyway?

I'm iffy about the suspension. I was thinking of getting the F-Sport springs or the Tanabe equivelant. I like how the ride feels right now, so I don't want to make it much stiffer. What kind of springs or coilovers would you guys suggest? I'd like to drop it maybe an inch without sacrificing too much ride quality.

i see you're in southern california? there'll be an meet event next sunday @ toyota speedway of irwindale: The Pursuit. registration is closed for the meet, but it's free for all spectators. click on my sig banner for more details.

maybe you can tag up with the 714 caravan and convoy with them to the meet?

forget the fsport... overpriced eibachs and crappy drop, get the eibach is250 springs for your 350, just trust me on this. Drop before rims always

Thanks for the tip llamaboiz! I'll do some research.

Projectdna - I'm unfortunately unavailable next weekend. Next time!
