Default IS350/ F-sport owners help me out

I have a 2008 IS250 AWD with f sport springs and shocks installed. I'm looking into a 2010 IS350 and was wondering if i can swap the suspension?! I'm in a bit of a time crunch.. I have f sport exhaust and intake as well I'm pretty sure they will fit the 2010..?

Looked at the 350 today its in great shape its at a dealer close by because of my request but after tomorrow it will be going back to its original dealer.

Dealership don't care about the f-sport parts at all he said same price with or without them for my trade in..

I believe the lower mounts on the shocks for AWD are different than the non-AWD. Springs would swap over, but it's a lot of hassle for just the springs.

Thanks!! Looks like i will have to give up the suspension.. I have 19's on my IS250 with 235/35/19's all the way around.. I know the is350 has staggered wheels but would these fit ??

Depend on your wheel's width and offset. Stock is350 have 18x8.5" +50 in the rear with 255/40/18 tire
Fronts are 18x8 +45 with 225/40/18 tires. Correct me if i'm wrong...

All the F-Sport parts but the shocks will be able to be transferred over to the 350. Not too sure about the wheels though, since the offset and the width will make or break it (like what LucianoLee mentioned); however, since you were able to run that on the 250 I would think they should work on the 350.

Yup, pretty much verify that the rims will clear the larger calipers on the 350 and if they do, then you're good.
