Thanks for the compliments. Yes, my goal was to make my IS350 a car that can properly represent the Lexus community by going toe-to-toe with the German competition on the track (and many times surpassing them) while still maintaining an OEM look and feel.
Here's a few shots of my IS350 at an autocross competition last Saturday. Lots of the competitors couldn't believe that a Lexus could perform so well at the event!
I applaud you and my goal is the same Not trying to knock anyone but I feel like alot of these guys forget the IS sedan is a sport sedan before all else and they usually do nothing to boost performance, just do things look wise usually making the car slower and heavier. Heavy big rims or heavy sound system things like that. To each their own but I wish I would see more people with our mind set actually making the 350 perform better. The IS350 has alot of potential stock back then the car was faster to 60 then the V8 Audi S4. It was the fastest Lexus.
BTW your car looks huge next to those mazda miata LOL. What size tires are you running ?

Yeah, the Lexus IS dwarfs those Miatas in size. Lol.
I'm running 245 Front and 265 Rear with the option to go 255F/275R on the same wheels if I ever need to. My OS Giken differential generates an incredible amount of grip with my current tire set-up so I'm okay with my configuration at the moment.

Yup, when the IS350 made its debut, it was faster than the V8 Audi S4 and the 4.6L V8 Mustangs. I believe it also unofficially held the record of being the fastest NA 6-cylinder sedan.
