Does anyone know what I could do as far as upgrading the brakes? Now its time for me to start saving up my money so I can do all this!
F Sport parts are great quality. The only thing I wouldn't get is the springs cause I like to be a bit lower than what those offer. Here's some brakes ideas. I'm in there somewhere. F $port brakes are nice too. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...bk-thread.html

Awesome thanks for the info! The brakes aren't bad, no where near as bad as my previous 2010 Acura TSX or my current other car, a 2015 TLX, but they still aren't what I had hoped for. I'll have to get me some of those asap. Also I feel like an idiot asking this, but can someone tel me how to add a signature on this forum? I keep seeing people who have info and pics below their posts and I can't for anything figure out how to do that

Thanks!
It was actually between this one and a base 2014 white IS250, and a 2011 Infiniti G37xS coupe. The G37 felt cheap and had a bit of wear and tear, plus 45,000 miles on it so I ruled it out. Now on to the Lexus's, both had 13,000 miles on them, and both were priced at $31,500. The 2014 did not have nav, real leather, heated or cooled seats, or the 3.5 engine, all things i wanted, plus its sound system wasn't as good as the 2013 is. I do like the look of the front of the 2014 and I love the interior look, but I can't for anything get past the look of the back of that car. Its just too freaky to me. The IS250 felt like it would be a great daily driver, but I already have my 2015 TLX for that, I wanted something fun! So considering they were the same price the choice was clear to me! And so far I couldn't be happier, I LOVE my Lexus!!
