Exclamation Lexus announces 'F-Sport' line of accessories for 2IS




Las Vegas, NV - In one of the most widely anticipated announcements for Lexus IS enthusiasts, Lexus today unveiled F-Sport, its first-ever performance accessory line available for the IS250 and IS350. The F-Sport Accessory Line includes a wide cross-section of performance enhancing products engineered by TRD and covered by the Lexus new vehicle warranty, including:

F-Sport Front and Rear Brake Upgrade
The Front Brake Upgrade provides a firmer pedal feel and improved fade resistance in repeated severe duty use. The Brake features six piston fixed calipers, and drilled cast iron 355mm diameter rotors with a patented internal fin design mounted on anodized aluminum hubs. Braided stainless steel brake lines and low-dust performance brake pads are included and the upgrade can be used with stock or F-Sport upgraded rear brakes. The rear brake upgrade uses four piston fixed calipers and drilled cast iron 345mm diameter rotors. The Rear Brake Upgrade may only be used in conjunction with F-Sport Front Brake Upgrade. MSRP: Front $3,025, Rear $2,550.


The other brake upgrade unveiled was the new Continuous Carbon Ceramic Brake Upgrade. A new generation of carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic material technology maximizes high-temperature durability and system cooling in this ultimate upgrade for the IS-F. Ceramic rotors measure 380mm diameter front and 355mm diameter rear on anodized aluminum hats. They incorporate the same internal cooling vane concepts as the F-Sport cast iron rotors, while significantly reducing unsprung and rotating mass compared to the IS-F stock brake system. Distinctively finished six-piston front and four-piston rear fixed calipers signify leading-edge technology and performance. Specially qualified performance brake pads and stainless steel brake lines are included. Contact your Lexus dealer for pricing.


F-Sport 19” Forged Alloy Wheels
This lightweight forged alloy wheel, exclusively designed in a dark graphite finish, includes a staggered fitment with 19” X 8” front wheels and 19” X 9” rear wheels. MSRP: Set: $2195. 19x8: $499 each (part # PTR45-53081), 19x9 $599 each (part # PTR45-53082). Wheel Lug & Lock Kit: $150, part # PTR27-53080. Recommended Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tire sizes are 225/35/19 front and 255/35/19 rear.


F-Sport Carbon-fiber engine cover
Constructed from real carbon fibers, this very light and durable engine cover provides a high-tech appearance under the hood. This is a direct replacement for the original cover and is available for both the IS250 and IS350. MSRP: $865. Available May 2008.


F-Sport Air intake
This low restriction intake and filter assembly is fully compatible with stock engine controls and is emission legal in all 50 states. MSRP: $455, part # PTR03-53080.


F-Sport rear chassis member brace
To improve chassis stiffness under aggressive driving conditions and provide a more responsive feel during cornering, the F-Sport Rear Chassis Member Brace joins key rear chassis and suspension mounting points through this tubular steel brace. MSRP: $375. Part # PTR02-53081. This part will fit AWD models. (See F-Sport Sway Bar Set below for image)

F-Sport Sway Bar Set
The F-Sport Sway Bar Set includes a set of larger diameter, replacement front and rear sway bars that offer reduced body roll and flatter cornering. Urethane mounting brushings are also included to replace the original rubber brushings. MSRP: Front & rear set (RWD) -$495, Part # PTR02-53082. Rear (AWD) - $225, Part # PTR02-53080.


F-Sport clutch
The F-Sport Clutch increases clamping force approximately 15% to handle higher torque capacity and provide improved feel. MSRP: $599, part # PTR15-53080.


F-Sport Lowering Springs and Bilstein Shock Absorbers
The F-Sport Lowering Springs lower the vehicle approximately 1” in the front and rear for a more aggressive appearance and a lower center of gravity. The spring set is engineered to deliver lowered ride height without bottoming out or creating a harsh ride. The feature can be used with either the stock or F-Sport shock absorber set. MSRP: $299, part # PTR07-53080.

Developed in cooperation with Bilstein and available exclusively through the F-Sport Performance Accessory program, the F-Sport Shock Absorber Set offers sport-tuned suspension dampening without sacrificing ride quality. MSRP: $185 each. Right front part # PTR13-53080. Left front part # PTR13-53081. Rear part number PTR13-53082.


F-Sport Quick Shifter

Engineered and machined from billet aluminum, the F-Sport Quick Shifter decreases shift throw by approximately 30% for positive shifting. MSRP: $300, part # PTR46-53080.

F-Sport Exhaust System
This system features all stainless steel construction with fully polished mufflers and double-wall exhaust tips. In addition to an outstanding appearance, it delivers a powerful, sport-tuned exhaust sound. MSRP: $1,470, part # PTR08-53090.

Special thanks to CL member IZZO2FIZZO for confirmation on pricing, and vendor member Lexus-Parts for the following chart:



The complete line of F-Sport accessories are available from our very own vendors Carson Toyota (click here) and Sewell Lexus (click here).

Can't wait! Would love to have OEM mods on the car rather than aftermarket.

Nice stuff, but don't know if the crowd here would go for the brakes. They might be too *cough* dusty for them.

I like the brakes, and I like those sways. Hopefully the cost isn't too prohibitive; the suspension pieces should at least be cheaper than the Tom's, or else that is where my money is going to go.

I like that these things are OEM without voiding warranty. I sort of wish I had waiting and sprung the extra money these parts will inevitably cost (ie springs, shocks, exhaust) just to keep warranty in tact. It all looks quite promising.

The engine cover, tho, just looks like a giant, er, phallus. Not to mention your engine will be COMPLETELY BLACK after you put it in.

P.S. Is the "F-Sport" exhaust just the HKS Lexus exhaust rebranded?
