[QUOTE=mmade22;6052912] Read the owners manual and you will find your jacking point to get the entire car up in the rear:
Hey I see you have the F-Sport springs over the stock struts how does it feel is there a difference you feel a change, just wondering cause I wanted to get the bilstein shocks and springs but don't no if there is a real difference! your opinion is well appreciated.

Wow me and you have same exact questions, OP said he used 3 bottles. I bought 3 bottles from toyota for 5.99 each as it was cheaper then getting them from sewellparts.com + shipping. Also If you are interested I got the bottle bleeder from ebay for $59.99 with free shipping.

t/s great thread
I'm in NC as well and I got two questions:
#1: who did your garage(floors, tool cabinets, walls, etc)?
#2: whenever you do go to a dealer, who do you trust the most? It seems hard to find a Lexus dealer that doesn't have a habit of directly lying to your face because they assume you don't know anything about cars SMH

bought my GS from a dealer in St. Louis - poor experience
and currently get my GS430 serviced in Raleigh, NC - better than St. Louis, but not that much better
I have a BMW 750 that I get serviced at the BMW dealership in Raleigh as well, as a matter of fact they are next door to each other
and the contrast in dealing with the personnel at each dealership is striking.........and not in a good way for Lexus

yeah, I've noticed that the customer service from Lexus dealerships is generally pretty poor

The Lexus dealer is outstanding, and they also offer lifetime warranty on all repairs for parts and labor. So for example, you change your brake pads, you get free brake pad changes for life! Applies to everything except wipers and tires. Always get a Lexus loaner, and they are very careful with your car.

So you dealer could flush out all 13 qts of WS fluid; I went to LONGO LEXUS yesterday and told them to flush out all WS fluids, and they only did the WS fluid service which is maybe 4-5 qts and told me they don't have the machine for it. They said they have the machine for type IV, but not for WS fluid. I thought it was kind of interesting becuase LONGO is one of the biggest dealership on the west coast.

In Miami it's the other way around. The Lexus staff and service is vastly better than BMWs. The BMW dealership on a couple of occasions had my car for over a week because they forgot to order the part, 3 times they scratched my alloys doing an alignment and it was a pain to get them to fix it, about a quarter of the time they give you a chevy because they don't have enough BMW loaners, and they charge $225 for an oil change.
