Default Two "Must-Do's"

1) The F-sport Quick Shift changes the entire driving experience of the 6MT, not just the shifting feel. Fantastic improvement in sportinessa.

2) HIR1 bulbs are a substantial improvement in high-beam illumination.

Both "must-do's" to the manual trans IS250, imo.

Those are good. I would go max performance tires like michelin pilot super sports and F sport complete sway bar set. Changes the whole performace of the vehicle.

I really felt a difference when I had the F Sport shirt shifter installed. Nicer and another shifts. Nothing close to my Honda/Acura's.

I've been advised by a CL long-termer of the need of such. I was thinking of Michelin Pilot A/S's and perhaps the sway bar set. For now though, I'll content myself with enjoying the new upgrades.

Ha! Likely not. But if I was younger, I'd dream of such an extreme makeover.
