Right! I've already bought wheels w/snow tires for it and mine hasn't even come in yet. I need to get the LCA bushings next. Not sure which ones though. Leaning towards the Figs 80s.
Suspension on the IS 500 F SPORT is identical to the IS 350 F SPORT Dynamic Handling Package, but the front brakes are from the GS 350 F SPORT (Advics 2 piece rotors). I'm pretty confident aftermarket manufacturers are not going to make a specific IS 500 F SPORT Performance suspension. I hope they do, but with the cost of inflation, it's most likely they'll just expand the current offerings for the IS 350 to the IS 500.
Very happy with performance of mine thus far, but I've only had it 5 days. Exhaust note sounds fantastic and would like it just a little (not a lot) louder. Interesting comment on suspension being same as IS 350 F Sport with Dynamic Handling, as I traded in a 2021 of that exact model. Maybe the added weight or extra length makes it feel different, but to me, the IS 500 has a little heavier steering and a little stiffer/sharply dampened suspension. The transmission shifts just as well. I don't know why automotive journalists rag on the transmission in these cars; I think they shift just as well as BMW or Audi.
We'll have Tom's Racing products probably in the US by March. Also current Lexus IS Tom's Racing products like the sides and rear we have in stock and will probably fit. Waiting on official confirmation for everything. We'll have all your IS500 parts!

I highly doubt the suspension would be the same given the added weight of the V8 and corresponding spring rates. ~100 lbs heavier than the V6 engine.
Holy moly 44hp from exhaust LOL That's insane. This car's exhaust must be the size of a drinking straw! Which means somebody will get it banned in CA LOL
I e-mailed RR Racing and they plan to support the IS500.

So far we are selling the RCF Air/Oil Separator and the Carbon fiber intake and heat shield combo. Both of these products cross over. We haven't had a car in so we are just getting feedback from customers who have rolled the dice with those RCF parts. We just started making the 3IS Chassis brace and I would love to see if one fits on the IS500 but I think there's a low probability since the brace is a tight fit with 3.5
