No such thing. "F" is the brand for LExus now, no more L-tuned and no TRD.
TRD products are EXCLUSIVELY for TOyota now.

Plus they are just WEAK when it comes to engine mods.

If the LExus engineers decided this was the ideal setup, I am apt to leave it that way. I can see maybe going 10 mm wider up front/rear.

I believe on the IS, you have to make fender adjustments to fit wider rears.

TRD did come out with a supercharger.... for the 4runner / landcruiser / LX460 engine in 2000 or so. Need more 'recent' research please

Edit - please see the date on the link you posted. The IS-F wasn't even a gleam in Yukihiko Yaguchi's eye.

Same thing as every car...
Intakes
Exhausts
Exhaust components (headers if room, x-pipes)
Air fuel controllers
Improved Gears
etc...

Agreed...

TRD is behind the F-Sport Peformance Products, that will be released shortly.

From what you have read about the F sport suspension kit would you put it on your IS 350?

I have an 06 IS 350 w/sport pkg and I was thinking about doing the F sport suspension kit mod.
