So I have been looking around for a new clutch kit for my '07 IS250 and need some help. I plan on doing this myself and had a few questions. I'm trying to avoid putting in a stock clutch, and would like to put in either an aftermarket clutch kit for the IS250 or i have read some people have put in a clutch kit for an ISF. I'd like to know which is better and where i should get it online since its almost impossible to find it in stores? Any other suggestions or help would be much appreciated

Cheapest clutch kit (clutch disk and pressure plate + TOB/pilot bearing) I've seen that would be worth using : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Clutch-Kit-AISIN-CKT-064-fits-06-11-Lexus-IS250-2-5L-V6/401335092077?fits=Make%3ALexus%7CModel%3AIS250&epid=173882309&hash=item5d716f836d:g:3qMAAOSwjk9ZTCiz&vxp=mtr

I appreciate it. I was thinking I'd be paying around $500-700 for the kit.

^Remember, my kit mentioned above doesn't have a replacement flywheel like the more expensive ones do. So your FW might need to be resurfaced depending on how it looks.

Ok I am going to keep on looking. What do you think of these SPEC clutch kits? I was thinking of getting the stage 2 one but really i have no idea the difference.

I am just assuming these will work?

If you do switch away from the dual mass flywheel, I would advise making sure you get a sprung clutch disc.

SPEC makes quality stuff. But why the STG II disk? You're not making enough torque to warrant the upgrade to it really.

Should I just go with the OEM or stage 1? I really was hoping for something a little more responsive but sounds like I should just go with the OEM

After reading the actual descriptions of the STG 1 and STG 2 kits of theirs, their STG 2 kit says it offers longer life. So is the added cost worth it...perhaps. But don't just buy it because "STG 2" = better.

Thanks. I appreciate the help
