I swap out my 99 SC300 Steering for the IS300 and could not be happier. I am with evileagle on the IS300 Steering Wheel Swap.

I got my wheel and airbag from the same guy on ebay. I got a killer deal at like $150 shipped...but to be honest, even at $250, id still pay it. It's that nice....

The airbag I got came with the wheel, and it was a single stage. Just make sure to get a wheel off an earlier model IS. All I have to do was swap the end connectors on the airbag and thats it.

You will need to use your stock cruize control **** tho.........too much of a pita to make the IS one work.

I would look for a is300 5-speed wheel because for those who have a 5-speed sc, the up and down shift buttons are kinda dumb looking IMO. Unless you have them linked to a trans brake, line lock or some spray...

For the airbag I used a special connector I ordered through Toyota who got it from Japan. Its an adapter harness. Took 2 months to get here. LoL.

Good topic!
I would like to install on my SC 300-97 steering wheel with wooden stakes and a smaller diameter.
From what model Lexus steering wheel with wooden stakes can be installed on my SC 300-97?
Do I need an adapter for this?
What do you say guys?
Thank you for your attention and help.
Vadim.

the IS wheel was easily one of my favorite mods and was so cheap and easy to do. I still need to paint my steering column so it blends better w/ the tan interior.
