Well done. But I couldn't help think back to all the clunking F-sport spring issues a few years ago. If it were all tested out so extensively, I wonder how the springs could have passed.

Cool video. That F-Sport IS with the 19" forged wheels looks sick.

Class 103 is here. This time let's take a look at something different, how Joe Bacal turn a luxury LX570 into something else -- off-road racing

Latest Class 104. This time around Joe compares the IS350 RWD vs the factory Fsport package. The video is pretty good in illustrating the side by side difference between the two cars. Take a look!

that last one is especially funny given that other than the steering ECU the "f-sport factory package" suspension is the same thing as the old 06-10 sport package...and you can swap the ECU... and they didn't offer any actual numbers showing what measurable difference it made on the track which I'd have LOVED to have seen.... that was much less a "class" and much more a "marketing video"
