  1. Stop, Drop and Roll
    Wondering if anyone has done Yonaka coilovers with Tein springs. Currently on maxpeeding rods which are great quality-wise except for the springs...just too soft, cant go low. Anything helps, thanks!
  2. Basic Help & Repair
    Hey guys, I am planning on redoing my entire suspension system with BC Racing coilovers, I’m looking to get a list or links to items that will smooth my ride and help with the stress of adding camber (which I also don’t know what I need to add said camber). I’ve looked around a lot and the most...
  3. Basic Help & Repair
    I’ve been having this click/clunk noise from my front right wheel area when I’m nearing a full stop for a while now, so I decided to check and see what it was. I took off the wheel and it doesn’t stand up straight, but at about a 20-30° angle from perfectly straight. Tires are about 25k miles...
  4. Stop, Drop and Roll
    I am looking to buy some coilovers for my 02 5MT is300. I am on a budget, as I am in school, so under 1k would be preferred, but if over that’s okay. I am looking for coilovers for mostly daily driving, with occasional spirited driving and sliding here and there. What would be the best option...

    Hey everyone, was wondering if anyone has found lowering springs or knows of a company developing springs for the 21 IS in AWD. Every option I've seen out there states "RWD Only," however, looking at the Lexus part numbers between the OE springs both AWD and RWD are the same. Any advice? Thanks!

    Welp as the title states, my 2002 is300s caster is very low. So for context, I got an alignment done to my car after installing some adjustable rear arms and toe arms to correct those values since the car is lowered a bit. Everything came out amazing with toe and camber across the whole car and...

    I need to replace these parts, can anyone drop me some direct links so I don’t buy the wrong things? Pretty confused not gonna lie, just getting into this car…not worried about price range 2003 is
  8. Stop, Drop and Roll
    My front stops are split (I used silicone to fill them) any idea where I can get something to replace them? On stock springs or anyone know the length? (Mayb I can find a universal that would fit) thnks will these affect the ride much?
  9. Stop, Drop and Roll
    About to do struts on my IS not sure how these hotchkis bumpstops seat. do bump stops move freely on the strut shaft in between the upper and lower plates? Or are they supposed to be stuck to the strut shaft?

  11. Basic Help & Repair
    I have an auto 05 is300 and a couple months back I hit a curb on my driver side wheel and ever since then my passenger side has been making a rotational noise no matter what speed I am going. It sounds like a repetitive thumping that gets faster as I accelerate. I have tried getting an alignment...
  12. Basic Help & Repair
    What’s up fellas I’ve got a 03 is300 and I threw some coliovers on last night and the bolt that meets the coil over and the lower control arm has fucked up threads. I can’t seem to find a replacement bolt anywhere just wondering if y’all have had the same issue or know a place to find one...

    I have a noise coming from the front of the car that I think I can best describe as sounding like a rusty gate closing. I managed to get a video today and you can hear the noise very clearly: (You'll need to un-mute the video to hear the noise: imgur.com/LHUCbeN) The noise only occurs when I'm...
  14. Stop, Drop and Roll
    My car's been making a groaning/creaking/clunking noise in the front when when the suspension loads or unloads (braking, turning, etc.), so I jacked it up to do the ol' tug test for ball joints and tie rod ends. There was no play, but I noticed something odd when I was looking around: the upper...

    Anyone have any links to how to correctly remove the lower control arm and replace it. Thanks much appreciated.
  16. General Discussion
    Having some suspension issues on the left front of my 01 is300. Read a few thing stating it might either be the lower control arms or the struts. Anyone have an thoughts or information regarding this. It would be much appreciated. Thanks
  17. Stop, Drop and Roll
    Recently bought this 2004 with these wheels and suspension already installed. Can't afford to chew through tires at the moment and need adjustable control arms. I have a few questions though. I was looking at Megan Racing and I guess the type IIs are only for drops of 2+ inches. With my current...

    So last night I replaced the front shocks with KYB shocks, and both also got the KYB front shock mounts. Everything went seemingly well (after a frustrating 5-6 hours) but as soon as i went out for a drive and came off my driveway onto the street, I noticed a clunk. I cautiously drove around the...
  19. Go Fast Stuff
    I have an '02 is with only 80k miles, was wondering about the handling potential of this ride? Any of you guys have an awesome suspension setup that you wouldn't mind sharing?
