Happy holidays everybody. Getting bored with the F so i want to mod it more lol #obsessions . Wanted to hear what suspension setups you guys got ..!! 2011 lexus isf stock. Curious to see what u guys got (ball joints, bushings, coilovers/springs) thanks again!

 

im actually thinking of the accu air kit, emailed them a few days ago so just waiting on a response. have you seen that video on youtube with the black s4 on the smoking tire? hope they can make me a kit.

 

I'm looking at getting myself the FIGS essential kit (consists of LCA front bushes and rear control arms) and toe links. I'll also go for a set of the BC BR coilovers with Swift springs in the recommended ratings.

I also plan on getting a proper LSD for mine (being the 08 model), but you won't be needing one with yours being the facelift model.

Two piece brake rotors are also on my to-do list.

These weigh less than the Brembo's, last longer, and should do the job nicely!

I guess it will depend on what you intend to use your car for? If you are planning on doing plenty of trackdays, circuit racing etc, then KW's or Penske coilovers would be a better option (more expensive obviously).

If you are just looking for fast road use with the odd trackday here and there, the BC's will probably be more than enough.

Hope this has helped.

 

Sikky sway bars are a must have!

Easy to install, with excellent bang for your buck and pretty easy on the wallet. We got em in stock so PM me for some combo deals!

 

I haven't seen them before. That really sounds bad ***!

 

I just bought penskes to replace my BC. Don't cheap out on suspension. Not worth it in this car.

 

what went wrong with your BC?

currently considering BC w/ swifts as oem suspension is on backorder.

 

I went with the BC's from Figs! They've been on the car for about 2 months and I have not 1 complaint. She's not my daily but if it were I'd still be satisfied. Well worth the money. I don't track so I had no need for the KW's which are the best out there rite now for the F.

 

what spring rates did you go with?

 

Figs penskes are a serious step above KW. V3

 

Nothing is wrong with them but they do not perform at the levels I want. Not even a compairable shock

 

In fairness, they should be given the difference in price!

I appreciate everyone's needs are different, but not everyone could afford to pay for the setup you have.

 

I always marvel at how people justify spending on their cars. Plenty of guys here have spent more than the cost of a set of Penskes on bodykits, wheels, and other visual performance mods. The Penske shocks take the handling into a different league. It's the only setup I would bother with if I were changing the suspension.

 

I'm curious to know what you hear from them, especially as it pertains to price. I've been following them and other like systems on IG for a while now and they're quality Air rides have come a long way over the years. I spoke with someone recently who had a full coilover setup and switched out to air ride and said he liked it better during some canyon carving in the mountains. Said he had more control over the stiffness and ride height than with the coilovers. That's saying quite a bit IMO but to each their own.

 

...and then I actually watched the video you posted haha. Sounds like they feel pretty much the same Very cool.
