For bags, I recommend sticking to Airlift everything. Make sure to drain your tank frequently for condensation. You also have to worry about clearance not only at ride height, but at air out, which makes finding the right wheel/tire combo a pain. Yes, you can get more clearance with more camber, but then you'll be more prone to uneven tire wear. Ride quality is completely adjustable from feeling factory ride quality to full coilover like stiffness. Alignments should be done at your ride height so make sure to not drive aired up from your normal drive height for too long. Pretty sure I'm missing a lot still but those are what come to mind.
That’s wild, I remember watching this video years ago when I first got the IS. Completely forgot about the LCA bushings and JUST had to replace my front two tires. Will definitely have to get on that.
@@teraa6996 2016 F sport as well. I think you’ll basically know if your inner front tires start wearing out very quickly. I saw thread showing on the tires and the car doesn’t get driven very often so I knew something was up.
@teraa6996 I'm pretty sure ALL 3ISs have the same shitty LCA bushings. I've always heard other people recommend using the OEM RCF bushings as a replacement. Not sure if the aftermarket options boast the same quality as the OEM RCF bushings or not. I'm honestly skeptical that any aftermarket bushings would be better quality than OEM RCF bushings.
@@Bxndo._ my shit got hit by someone and totalled 😭 had a cold air intake and stage 1 tune as well as full nia body kit. Apexi mid pipe and remark axle back. I got a M2 now though
@@jackarnold5560 not much. About 340-350HP. Gotta do a lot of work to the engine to run more than that. Would recommend just getting one of the V8 Lexus. V6 is seem to be very under powered. Even with a tune. Traded it in for a M2 about a year ago.
@@auroravsat7215 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the IS 300 has the same drivetrain as the IS 200t, a 2.0L turbocharged inline 4 cylinder making ~250 HP at the crank. Getting 340-350 HP to the wheels out of bolt-ons and a tune is kind of insane and had to be pushing those internals to their limit, if not past it.
I’m jealous of your car. It looks amazing bro. Every aspect of it is very tastefully done. Well done! How much was your wrap if you don’t mind my asking?
Yo my boy is back. What up bro? Another great video joint man. Nice mods to have. I'm still upgrading on my whip. Got the rear deck spoiler, and rear defussers. Got body kit done. Got the window visors. Got the rear small window Louvers. Installed the engine strut sway bar. I got the F Sport intake. I got the roar Pedal box controller. That thing is sick bro. My car is still fairly new under warranty. I only got 15,000 miles put on it so far. Maybe new wheels exhaust and suspension is next update. Great updates bro. Keep grinding hard and posting new updates for us bro. You are the man. Holla at you later. Peace out✌dawg.
Nice mods! Looks like you are for sure building that IS and haha yeah the Apexi does make a difference with how sensitive it is on the red mode. sheepish your IS brand new then and mine over 55K now lol. Thank man! and for sure i will upload more i got a few mods sitting here atm.
@@Und3rgroundLex Yeah bro. You have the best mods on a Lexus that I have seen so far. Those wheels and tires are super dope and phat bro. Got looks and a lil performance in it.
Do you have a video or something to show how to install the Apexi Throttle Controller in the location you have it? Maybe a name of a video that shows how to replace the buttons in that area of some sort would help. I like the clean OEM look where you have it.
Thanks for the great video. Really enjoyed it. I don't mind the stock settings for the most part with my IS, but you definitely inspired me to upgrade the front LCA bushings, do a full body wrap, get beefier wheels,,,, I noticed that the price gap is pretty big between the RCF/GSF bushings and the figs bushings. Where would you put the RCF/GSF bushings in between the stock IS bushings and the figs bushings (80 rating) in terms of ride quality and being able to alleviate inner tire wear?
In terms of comparison both the RCF/GSF and FIGS will do the job to save the inner tire wear. The stocks will not. The difference really with the RCF/GSF and FIGS is really the ride quality you'll get once you install it. FIGS will feel more stiffer in terms of more better response in steering and etc. But if you want that OEM Style and still want that smooth ride with not too much of a change with stiffness, go with the RCF/GSF ones.
Thanks for the information, was wondering about the transmission booster kit installation. Besides the parts I’ll order from the link you said what else would I need for a successful installation? I noticed you mentioned gasket, filter & OEM fluid anything else I may need to pick up?
First off this is my favorite is and favorite is UA-cam channel. I wanna go bc on my 19 is300 awd but I’ve heard if you go too low you get premature axel wear? Also how is your car with clunks and noises and should I go extreme low at the highest setting or regular bc coils? Thank you.
Much love! And I used to be more lower than what I am now but no issues so far in axel wear. Had the BC for 3 + years. And tbh the clunking noises went away randomly. Not sure what I did to fix it but yeah it’s gone lol. Extreme lows if you want to go really low or regular if you just want that nice slight low but clean
I hate bags only reason when they do end up ripping or have a hole in the bags you're vehicle will be stranded on the side of the road I've had a few bagged vehicles and would rather stick to coilovers. Running bags is better for car shows and driving it straight back home I've also been racing since the late 90's and racing a bagged car was not even a thought air shocks however I've seen on race cars before I think in the end it boils down to what do you plan to do with the car racing it showing it just cruising etc.

my 8 speed rwd slips from 3rd to 4th or to 5th, what can i do for that? its at 75k miles. also, besides the ppe headers whats your axle and mid pipe setup? its sounds really good, theres like no rasp. i bought my is350 with an invidia axle back and mid pipe already on it. i heard ppe headers dont fit very well with invidia
