I wasn't saying that you have a small *****.
I just said that the word "nub" makes me think of someone with a small one
"im tryin to spice up my lexus and i have a themem but i dont know how or wat do do."
I have no idea what this sentence means.

Ok ok man, chill chill.
Don't have to drop asterisks on us.
We're all family here.
Incase you missed this, Don made a good point.
Before you try to go racing your 7+ year old car you should take care of what you already have before you go getting new stuff.
invest in brake pads, lines and fluid. Good tires too if the ones on there now are worn or cheapies. And deferred maintenance, you got a 7 year old IS, chances are bushings, ball joints, end links, mounts, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, air filter tranny fluid, coolant and all that stuff is about due or will be very soon.
If you want to do autox then don't worry about body mods or interior mods.
In my opinion:
#1 prioity is weight reduction
#2 should be suspension & tires
#3 priority is power...
To tell the truth modifying the stock motor with intake/exhaust/header is not really worth the money spent, you will gain maybe like 15 horsepower.
If you want to go fast you are going to need boost, either turbocharger or supercharger.
Why is power last priority?
The answer is simple. You have to start off somewhere.. You can start in slow hp classes and work your way up.
If you have a really light car with great suspension and you are racing a car with same hp you could win if you have a lighter car with better suspension & handling.
But if you want to start with power as priority, you can easily build a 1000hp car, sure.
But you are auto crossing a heavy tank with poor suspension, and you aren't familiar with the car; you are just making your car faster so it can go into a wall at a higher speed.
If you want to get on the twisties you are going to need some good strong coilovers.
Don't go for the cheap basic coilovers because your ability to make adjustments will be limited.
You will also need sway bars, strut tower bars, and many other braces that you wouldn't need for daily driving.
Once you get some power under your hood, then look into getting roll cage and racing seat.
But for stock IS300 you don't need any of that and roll cage just add extra weight.

You are looking for advice on coilovers? Suspension components / braces etc..?

also pay close attention to the class rules. if you mod too much they may bump you to a more advanced class. for example i believe having coilovers vs a spring set up can move you up a class

A stock engine 2,000 lb IS300 will murder a stock engine 3,000 lb IS300 from the gate, no doubt about it.

Yeah, good tires, well maintained car, good brakes and seat time/work on your driving skills. Anything else is overkill at the moment and should be left alone for later.
See? You come on here, hyping up something mundane and done by 100s if not 1000s of people over the last 10 years the car has been out like it was the new hotness and your own original idea, typing like an illiterate ignoramus and throwing up ethug vibes and then point the finger at other folks returning in kind. Yet there are still people trying to help you out. Get yourself together man, you're better than that.
Ps... I spit hot fiya.

ive heard dc coilovers aint that great. let me know how it rides. I've had tein flex on the is300 before, had clunking problems but stiffness was great. I got rid of it and got megan racing ezs and it seems kinda maybe similar to the tein flex. the megan racing makes my chassis flex more than the tein flex tho. really lovin the ride on the megan racings. thats just my opinion so yeah.
