Picking up a 2018 IS350...Mod options?

Returning my 2015 is250 lease and purchasing a 2018 is350!!

I have spacers and invidia axle back which I plan on transferring over to it....which I assume shouldn’t be a problem??

Looking to lower it as well but wanted to know if springs/coilovers for 14-15 models will fit 18 models?
I was told they would but looking to see if anyone can confirm this for me...

ALSO don’t know if it’s just me but I’m having a hard time finding parts for the new 2018 model if anyone can drop some links, websites, etc with parts for it below it’d be much appreciated !

The Apexi exhuast is an awesome exhaust for the 2017+ facelift versions. Its a quad tip setup to fit the diffuser, the invidia might look strange. Spacers would work too.

Certain coils and springs work.

Let us know what you need!

Front lower arms changed. I believe existing lowering springs will work but coilovers are a no go from 2015. the exhaust will fit but the exhaust cutouts in the rear are larger for the teardrop shaped tip (quad tip exhaust systems look great BTW).

Its definitely not just you. 2017+ models definitely have a harder time looking for parts. IE: Tein don't even have coilovers for 17+ Lexus IS yet. Their 014-016 coilovers haven't been tested yet to see if they work on 017+.

On the flip side - parts for VIP Style Lexus IS is easy to find. AirRunner already has a system ready for 17+ Lexus IS - the same system for 14-16. AIMGAIN has a body kit and lip ready for 17+. I think its easier to find cosmetic mods for the Lexus IS than it is to find performance mods.
