Default New IS-F Owner Introduction 2008 IS-F

Hello everyone I've been lurking here for a couple months and I wanted to finally say hello!

I wanted to thank everyone for their contribution to the forum, it's been extremely helpful with all of my decisions on my new 2008 IS-F. She is a DREAM compared to my last car BMW 2008 650i Convertible.

I'll be done with my exterior mods in about a month, then it's on to making her even faster! I hope Lexus does another performance driving school. There is no point in my car unless I know how to drive it.

Congrats and welcome!!! What exterior mods do you have in mind?

I also agree with you about taking a driving school...the only way to really maximize what the car has to offer.

Welcome, sounds like you'll be busy.

KW's are a good choice. There is no good electronic coilover system for the Is-F right now, so that eliminates that issue haha.

Hit us up if you would like a Kw kit in the future, we can help out
