Lexus Announces Special Pricing on F Sport Performance Packages

TORRANCE, Calif. (May 10, 2010) – To build on the excitement surrounding F Sport performance accessories, Lexus today announced a special offering on select F Sport accessories.

The promotional pricing will be available for all applicable models including: IS sport sedan, IS convertible coupe and GS 350 rear-wheel-drive (RWD) luxury sport sedan. All F Sport accessories have been engineered respectively for each Lexus. This exclusive promotion will run from June 1 – July 31, 2010 and include three different packages.

The F Sport suspension kit will be offered for a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price of (MSRP) of $1,450 representing a savings of $549. The F Sport suspension kit includes lowering springs that reduce ride height approximately one-inch in the front and rear; and a rear chassis member brace for better cornering and enhanced chassis stiffness under aggressive driving conditions. RWD models also feature a front and rear anti-sway bar set, while all-wheel-drive (AWD) models have a rear anti-sway bar. The anti-sway bars help reduce body lean and provide flatter cornering.

A package including the F Sport suspension kit plus wheels and tires will have a MSRP of $4,495, a savings of $1,499. The RWD models of the GS 350, IS 250, IS 350, IS 250C and IS 350C equipped with F Sport forged 19 x 8-inch front wheels and 19 x 9-inch rear wheels ride on Michelin 225/35ZR19 and 255/35R19 Pilot Sport PS2 tires, respectively. The IS 250 AWD sedan features F Sport forged 18 x 8-inch wheels and Yokohama 225/40R18 Advan S.4. all-season tires.

An additional package
including the F Sport suspension kit, wheels and tires, and a brake upgrade will carry a MSRP of $8,995, a savings of $1,479. This package also includes exterior F Sport fender badging. The F Sport High Performance Brake Upgrade offers a firmer pedal feel and helps enhance fade resistance in repeated severe use. The front kit features six-piston fixed calipers and cross drilled cast-iron 14-inch diameter rotors with patented internal fin design mounted on anodized aluminum hats. The rear brake upgrade has four-piston fixed calipers and cross drilled cast-iron 13.6-inch diameter rotors. Low- dust performance brake pads are on both front and rear sets.

Lexus launched its signature line of sport performance parts in Spring 2008 with accessories for the IS 350 and IS 250 luxury sport sedans. After its successful launch, Lexus expanded the F Sport performance accessories line for the current generation GS Series (gas) and the IS C.

it has to be similar what Sewell did... other than that... Lexus Corp is unlikely to do that.... if there were specials carried out by vendors it'll be fine

An important point that the Press Release fails to mention (but that I've confirmed with Lexus corporate) is that this special pricing is only good when these packages are installed at the port. In other words, you do not get those prices when the F-Sport accessories are dealer-installed or purchased over-the-counter from the parts department.

Uh, $1400 for a 1 inch drop? No, thanks. The suspension isnt doing to do squat for us AWD guys. We already sit like 4inches high. After the upgrade we'll be at about 3", lol

I'm also 99% sure that firmer Bilstein F-Sport shocks are included, even though the Press Release doesn't specifically say so.
