I've been driving a full package F-Sport car for 2 weeks now, 2 different ones. Both of these cars have every F-Sport part available (GFX, wheels, brakes, shocks, springs, sways, chassis brace, sport clutch, sport shifter, intake, engine cover and exhaust.
I'm not experiencing any clunk at all. I've driven about 1800 miles on the silver F-Sport and the black one i'm currently in about 500. I will have my write up on them shortly.

Had the P-brake adjusted and it did not fix the problem. The dealer confirmed the clunk noise with other customers and has contacted TRD regarding the issue. I hope TRD/Lexus can come up with a solution.

Vik, there is a solution already for the clunk noise, i had mine fixed at my dealership here in Toronto. The service manager already know about this issue, and Lexus Canada provided them some parts (i'm pretty sure they are rubber silencers). They installed them on my car, and now the clunk noise is gone! so much better now going over bumps, no more clunking at all! I'm sure if they have it here in Canada, you guys will have it in the states.

Supposedly the rubber silencers are solving the issue from what I have read.

The rubber silencers are the best defense against the clunk noise. However, they do not solve the issue. Instead of a loud clunk, you will hear a muffle thud. People with rubber silencers have confirmed. We need a complete fix from TRD/Lexus.

Hey Gents,
For those of you that hear noise related to the springs, does it sound like the one in this clip? Notice when the car pulls in and out of the garage there is a distinctive noise coming from the suspension.

Based on what I've read here, I bought enough to do 5 on each of the rear springs (5 packs) and 4 for the front springs (2 packs) but the front generally doesn't clunk but people get them just to be safe.
