Hahahh this is gold! Thank you so much, I agree!!! I think Yaguchi-San is a complete idiot for thinking this wing was a good idea, and we both know we cant trust the man that made the IS-F to have any good ideas.... lol

Do you want functional or good looks? This is the price you pay for functional.

Agree. In my opinion and from the thread , most like the looks of the trd wing, diffuser etc. Functional, oem toyota/lexus parts upgraded and actually tested to be functional. Wins all around.

Awesome! Never knew these excited so it was fun to read about. Cool to remember some of the racing history of the F.

Hi Ashbechan,

your car looks amazing almost makes me jealous. Yes, TRD parts are absolutely the best for the ISF if money is no objection.

Since the production of these parts is discontinued, I would like to replicate the TRD suspension set up as closely as possible. I'd love to know the spring rates for your two way dampers.

Thank you so much!! I shall jack the car up this weekend and take a look to check if there are any markings on the springs revealing the rates.
