How's it going everyone? I am a new owner here to Club Lexus. I recently traded in my Infiniti G35 coupe for an 07 AWD IS250. I am not used to the power difference but I do not mind it at all. I will have to say that I love the Lexus as it seems more reliable and comfortable as heck.

Here is my Infiniti before I traded it in:


Here's the IS250:

Thank you. I am planning on keeping it stock, but I probably will end up getting some wheels and a drop.

How much of a drop are F-Sport springs? I am trying to stay OEM.

Welcome to the club. I traded in my G35 coupe about two months ago for an IS250 also.

Another Newbie.....Hi, We picked up our (new) 08 is250 AWD yesterday. We has driven many different cars, and nearly bought a 08 MB C230. Did a little research, and internal motor problem on the MB scared us off. Then we drove the is, and there was no comparison...we never looked back...Just need to work my profile, .....and install the correct engine cover clips.
