Talking Lorne's 2009 IS350 progress thread

I've owned my 2009 Starfire Pearl IS350 for about two years now, and I've finally decided to share my progression. For now I'm just going to share the mods I've acquired over the past couple years, but will divulge further once my wheels get here and I bring the IS350 back to life for summer
Here are the mods I've acquired so far, some mods are probably missing but there are definitely more to come so I will update accordingly!

BC BR Coilovers with 12K/10K sprint rates:

I'll give you the price for each piece:
MRS-LX-0322 (Rear Lower Control Arms) - $369.00
MRS-LX-0371 (Rear Toe Arms) - $172.20
MRS-LX-0311 (Rear Camber kit) - $165.25
MRS-LX-0321 (Rear Upper Control Arms) - $169.16
MRS-LX-0320 (Rear Traction Arms) - $169.16

So total was $1,044.77 shipped from THMotorsports.com. I got them during the tax time sale too so they were a little cheaper than usual

Say it ain't so..........

I searched to find one but couldn't find one anywhere, ended up paying full price. Man I feel stupid now

UPDATE: I bought it 10 days before the group buy started -_-

If you don't already, go out and get you a set of feeler gauges for the LCA bushing install there. Read the instructions, and you'll see why.
