i might have overlooked it, but what package did you get when you got the car? luxury?
I was "building" an IS350 AWD at lexus.com based on my zip code, and only a navigation option show up...
Package A... is Navigation
Package B... is Navigation and rear spoiler
Are there more? Or is it because my local Lexus dealer barely has a 2011 inventory right now?
I did the same for an IS250 AWD and I see package C, D, and E

Little update. Over the weekend my HID kit came home for the fogs. 3000K from DDM Tuning. Install was straight forward.
Question: I've never had any HID kits that were yellow before. Right when you turn it on, it glows a green and warms up to yellow. Is that normal? Looks funky driving around with green fogs at first..

So little update.
Today i test fitted my wheels from the Audi (5x112) on the IS (5x114.3). I remembered that although Lexus measurement was 5x114.3 the wheels are drilled for 5x112. Both stock Lexus wheels are ET45 as well as my BBS LM Reps. That said, here it is:
First pic is a little blurry
2nd shows how much of a gap there is on stock suspension and 18x8.5 wheels. I'm going to go cry now.

5x112 are drilled the same as wheels that are 5x114.3. Only thing is that you the correct need hubrings for the wheels to be properly centered.

Update: last week ordered some Road Magnet springs (~2.0in f&r). can't wait for these

I know it's been long but a little update. First those road magnet springs came home. Probably be installing these in a few weeks. Question for you guys: when changing springs is it necessary to change shocks too?

I've been watching an ad on ebay for quite some time for the F sport exhaust from Lexus of North Miami. For a long time the Buy it now price was $1200 SHIPPED (better than most). I watched this for a couple months but never came close to buying it. A few weeks later I checked back to see that the listing had ended and sold for $1092?? Since then I've had my eyes on this like a hawk. At first the price dropped to $1150 shipped Like this
Like this but if your patient they lower the price to $1092. Thats what I got it for and it should be here by next week. I can't wait to install it. Pics when it gets delivered!

its not necessary to change shocks when swapping out springs. if you wanted to change shocks too you might as well go with a coilover system as shocks are include. at least then you can also adjust right height.

Thanks guys. Yep, definitely shinier than I hoped but I don't mind Total for install only took me about 1 hour. About 30 mins to put her on ramps and remove the stock and 30 mins to put in the F sport and tighten/center everything.
Also, watching/hearing videos and sound clips on youtube simply do not justify how awesome and perfect the F sport sounds. Will post pics up later after I get her washed up and looking pretty.
