That's awesome. Is the wiring plug-and-play, or was there some modification needed?

My blue IS-F has radar cruise control, so rather than mucking around with relocating the switch I decided to swap over the old one, and the put the Sport button in my white IS-F which is the more aggressive car of that two, and usually has the Sport button turned on a lot more often.

I think it depends on the year. I put the sport button in my 09 and had to do some wiring.

Wiring is required on all pre-facelift models (08-10), but is just a case of tapping into the stock Sport/Snow button.

Here's a good guide: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...y-08-10-a.html

That looks somewhat familiar...

2 and a half year rebuild from salvage auction. So close to the finish line but so far.

Fair warning mates, a lot of ISF parts discountinued. so collect whatever you can whenever you can.

Had a fair amount of damage to my original wheels (plus spacers that were incorrectly installed and were practically welded to the wheels), so replaced with some Kiwami-style wheels (I know, reps are bad, but I needed something inexpensive for the timebeing) in an 18x9.5 ET40 with Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3's in a 265/40/18.

Really happy with how the car is turning out. TOM's style diffuser, VLAND Taillights, Secondary cat delete and Swift Springs (which are desperately needed) to come.

Damn! No kidding! Those wheels and brakes alone are worth more than a third of the car! F-U money or living paycheck to paycheck… one or the other LOL 😂

I don't have a very accurate scale but according to my bathroom scale, carbon ceramic rotors are less than 20 lbs. each, IIRC. I've had RB 2-piece rotors for a while so I forgot how much the stock rotors weigh.

I set a goal and I worked hard for it. But you're more than free to speculate all you want.

It’s all good, buddy, I’m just messing around. Your car car looks really good… where did you get the CCB’s from? And are they a huge difference over stocks or even 2-piece? Basically, would you recommend them to others? Thanks!
