I won't say this is exhaustive or 100% accurate, I just pulled out the obvious suspension bits applied to the 2013 F-Sport 2IS vehicles. Many of the hard parts (minus springs and dampers) are on the IS-F. Steering ECU and interior frills are not listed here.
I was surprised to see they changed the rear spindle, front lower control arms and a bunch of bits in the rear.
Snap shot is springs, dampers, sway bars, toe links, A-arm, spindle. Anyone have access to both?
So Lexi is resting while some tweaks to fuel and ignition maps take place. Being 1 of less than 375 in 2013 she needs her brains shipped off. In the mean time some detailing and PM's are under way.
This seemed nice though!
Anyone else think Lexus dropped the ball here? What they couldn't spray another $12 worth of blue or black paint? Anyway it's always seemed a bit tacky they just blew some black rattle on the core at random.

AFTER:
Nothing like a little Lacquer thinner to take up the overspray! The grey coating is hardened and durable. The blue and black atop the grey is not invincible! It will fail under pressure from solvents.

Reason: Invisible invincible, they be the same; right? lol
Looks great. My unsolicited opinion is that the core support should be USB and the plastics (from airbox to weather boxes to harness routing to intake manifold) should be a matte or flat grey somewhat close to the color of the harness loom, maybe lighter like a Gull grey. Or, more realistically, whatever grey rustoleum has available for plastics. 10mm deep, 12mm deep, and a 5mm allen should be the only tooling you'll need....might need another allen and a 13, 15 or 8mm socket, but nothing that isn't in a gas station tool kit. The worst part is trying to figure out how to disengage the eleventy gajillion different types of connector in there without any kind of reference as to how they operate...my engine has a couple broken connectors thanks to kaizen. In the aviation world, every connector is the same, but labeled...apparently labels are too tacky, so toyota invents Rube Goldberg connectors to keep their techs from having to learn "this plug here, that plug there" skills.
I've been mulling over the idea of painting the engine itself--more for corrosion prevention and a "I was here" than anything--though the car's already 212 Obsidian, so the umpteen cans of high-temp high-gloss black I have would just be pouring sugar into my Coke. Doesn't need to be high-temp, even, I highly doubt any part of the external surfaces of the long block reach over 200F, with how the water jacket is.
What's funny is I posted that in the wrong place and didn't think stuck as it wasn't where I left it so I made a new one where it was meant to be. It's a new day. We shall carry on.
2013FSport, thank you for following up and confirming sway bar diameter in FK option package as being the same as OEM diameter, as well as adding the additional information / link; (FK) F-Sport Suspension Components; https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...n-listing.html, I appreciate you doing so!
Will most likely install the suspension parts, shocks / springs etc., from vehicle equipped with the Sport Tuned suspension; (XE) X or (ST) Package, (believeoption lowers vehicle 0.4 inches front and keeps the same height in rear as vehicle without either package) however,will most likely have to locate an owner who can input correct 2008 VIN with either option installed, and run a search on a Lexus dealer site ( Lexus Of Warwickhttps://parts.lexusofwarwick.com/oem...per-4834130110 for example), to confirm correct part numbers of suspension parts needed.
Does TOKICO manufacture the OEM shocks for the IS F and IS 350 vehicles with (FK) F Sport package? Would the OEM part numbers / cross reference to the following TOKICO part numbers; TOKICO (06 - 08 IS250/350): HX3797 - Front Right / HX3798 - Front Left / HX3799 - Rear Right & Left
I can't say for certain. What I do know is mine is setting with this part number as read from the shock. What I can say is these offer a great balance of compression and rebound damping. I would absolutely buy them again. Well if I knew what the fronts were that is...
Rear:
Tokico #48530-53280, which seems to map over too this 48530-80574 X2
Apparently I didn't get the front part number and it seems all the site show something different, so no clue what I have up front. I do like them. Pulled from above... Front:
