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

 

I've exedy clutch kits for some time and have worked very well for me. read up on some reviews. they're widely used

Would this be the right one?

 

hmm... not sure why it's not on their website. if you havent already saw, another member used exedy kit on his IS250: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...nsmission.html

 

Ah k thank you. I don't know if i wanna drop $2000 into my car just yet. thanks for the info

 

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
