Suspension Springs, shocks, coilovers, sways, braces, etc.

Is this a good deal for Fsport Brakes?

looking at tom's site, they have something for the ls460/600, don't see anything for the gs? i would be really interested in finding out more if they have anything for the 3gs, especially if it's something from ap racing

I have no clue why they decided against a bigger rotor. Before I got my F-sport BBK, I checked out Tom's and almost pulled the trigger. But as I researched more, I realized actually using stock rotors and costs as much as others. however being made by AP racing is tempting though...

I was quoted this from a vendor in this website. Prices are similar to the F-Sport Kit. Now which do you guys recommend?

I think I am going to order those or the Fsport. In the process of deciding. The thing is, I can afford the Fronts. What if I just want to match the Rear Calipers with the same paint as the Fronts. I saw a few members with stock calipers with "Lexus" written on them. Are those aftermarket, or just painted? See this for example: http://www.bombgrafx.com/gs350.jpg

The only stickers I found on ebay where the IS200/300. Would they fit, considering I have limited option for items to be shipped to where I live, and those do.

The dealers here told me that the F-Sport brakes DO NOT fit the GS460.

I went ahead and ordered the 19inch F-Sport wheels and gear **** and badge. I am also considering the F-Sport exhaust system. I ditched the springs for Eibach which have a better ride height. But the air intake system will not fit the 460 either.

My car is going into the dealers next week for a full paint job from Mica Red to F-Sport Blue.

The exhaust system fit the 460?! I thought they fit the 350s only?? A total Paint job 0.0... IT would look really cool with the F-Sport Blue.
