I got a bunch of these RCA to Aux cables and some fuse if anyone needs them. I also got some a bottle of turtle wax and mcquire compound. I will bring it to the meet and give it to anyone that needs it.

Does the Torsen limited slip come on IS300 F Sport models?

Or is that option or build exclusive to the IS350 F?

If so, the price difference between the two is more than just power, you might also miss out on the Mark Levinson system and the LSD.

If tuned, they are the exact same thing.

The LSD is new for 2018, but it is in fact only on the IS350 as I understand it. Previously (2016-2017) the IS300 AWD and IS350 AWD shared all parts on the car with the exception of the engine computer and the shocks/suspension electronics. Any other differences were just option differences.

Like cold air intake claimed 15HP but Mighty Car Mods has a result of 3-5 peak HP like i always tell people, its business every owners says their product is best !

Check out Engineer explain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XUM6Z7kB4I

I'm not against Mods or people loving Mods, my point is i like to compare which better, you see with all these money$$$ you could do something bigger.
With all do respect.... we are very honest with our results, and we have the reputation to back that up.

For example, there are numerous intakes for the IS, or RCF, ISF that claim +10 or even + 15hp. We NEVER make such rediculous claims.
