Well you already found Luis @ Carson Toyota / Lexus Parts..

For simple bolt-on installs I use Tommy from MusicBox in El Monte..

What brake pads do you recommend on using? I know theres a whole thread about pads, but I just dont know witch one is good. All I need is same as stock performance and low dust.

I'll probably try the Hawk Ceramics, but they only have it for the front. I can never find one for the rear.

Yea if you want to bring some tools tomorrow that will be cool. My chick and I just got back from the Doheny Blues Festival at the beach so I didn't get a chance to do it.

Congrats I went with tom's drop in more or less the same airflow now it's time to get the JoeZ exhaust both mods put together are good for ~30bhp or so, can't go wrong with Joe's products best bang for the buck. BTW just throw in some headers and your car will be a beast in disguise. My 2 Cents

Man you are on your way to having all the best upgrades for the money, I had all the same on my F including the Joe Z exhaust, and that is the coolest thing I did, the F sounds great with that exhaust, as my daily driver I loved it. Keep it going and enjoy.

Thanks for the info Joe, so a question would be do we have a Rep from L-Tuned on here or do we just order directly from their website?

Sorry OP, youre gonna have to excuse me and not meaning to thread jack but it would be informative to know for others looking to order and ship... I wish i had the luxuory to take a trip down to the store and buy direct and then meet up with fellow enthusiasts to do the installs... Lucky guys !

No problem man! Being in SoCal has its advantages!! Im going to get the Joe-Z exhaust in a couple weeks, but I think I'm going to install it at home since Kody and Jason told me the parts will fit in my trunk
