^^ LOL i already made that mistake and showed the girlfriend, now she wants one...FML.

On another note, I just noticed alot of factory parts on Ebay, so the people wanting FOGS for conversions, here is your chance. For some reason there is A LOT of mirrors.

Hello all! I'm new here, but not new to lexus! My family's had a lexus for the past 17 years! Thats right we've bought lexus cars since they started business! We've had a 1993 LS400, 1995 LS400, 2005 LS430, and finally the IS350C! <--mine! (will post pics soon...but its just a stock model...so no fangly stuff AHAHAHA). Love the car so much... but I've been having some really weird issues with it:

1. "whining seats": When I adjust the recline, or move the seats forward to let people into the back the chairs squeak and squeal so much!

2. rattling top: My convertible top shudders and rattles...but only on cold day :/

3. Trunk: MY TRUNK DOESNT OPEN AT ALL ANYMORE WTF?!?!?! will go to dealerships soon for that.

Does anyone else have similar issues?

I can relate to you on issue#1. I experienced the "whining seat" on my driver's side after 5 months of owning the car. I took it to the dealership and they added some lubrication. It was free of charge since it is covered under my basic warranty.

Any recommendations on lowering. I had the fsport suspension the my previous 4door is250 but I want to go coilover. I see some slammed ISC's on this thread so question is to you guys how does it ride ? I dont see any coilovers for the ISC but i was wonder if the coilovers for the IS250/350 fit ? ... Thanks. Will post pics of my ride when there is daylight

welcome to the vert club. I used a sedan Air Runner Kit only to find out that I could not slam the rear all the way down. My shop R&D the suspension and sent the specs back to them. then, they came out with a kit specifically for the vert. Hopefully others in here will chime in. I will tell you that the suspension setup is nearly the same (Everything will bolt up) if you were to get coils for a sedan.

And Yes, show us them pics!

Thanks Mike. Taking notes, PS2 and Sways.

I will say that I very disliked the way the car handled stock......a lot due to the stock Bridgestone all-seasons. I immediately put on my set of PS2s from my prior IS350 sedan and noticed a nice upgrade in just that upgrade.

Also, I did the F-sport sways almost immediately as well, which helped a lot.

I just recently did the springs/shocks, and I will say that it did a good job lowering the car (appearance wise) with just an ever-so-slight change in ride quality (and that's cause I'm being a little nit-picky). Now it rides like it should: a sporty luxury car

And again, it rides like a lexus compared to a new VW GTI

Hi Guys,

I am thinking about install clear bra on my IS 250C. The paint seems to be soft, prone to chip. Is it a good idea? If anyone has done it in SoCal, could you please PM me your shop?

Thanks,

Kevin
