IMS has been great for me, I don’t think I’d find myself using adjustment to its full potential so I chose to use the savings for aftermarket UCAs and LT rear
Reviews of spare parts for Lexus
I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.
I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases
Great tire, long life, smooth quiet. 80MPH, 110mile per day commute no complaints. Decent in snow and rain too (we live in northern NM). We were concerned but they are just as good or better than your average name brand tire.
Go on Groupon and look for shops in your area. I get coupons for Valvoline and they’ve always been good to me. I save a good bit as well!
I called the dealership to see if they have an alternator for a 2002 is300. Crazy enough they still sale them! List price is $344 but you do get a discount from the core of the OEM alternator only. These alternators are reman but it’s from the dealership (actually denso) so it’ll have the quality to go with it. I ended paying $216 due to my employee discount on top of the core exchange.
Just got my wife’s GX done for $100 at the Lexus dealership, plus they wash it every time it’s in so it’s actually a pretty good deal.
I recently installed the metal tech conversion kit with Bilstein 5100s. Rides like a dream!
Only run oem rotors so far. Haven't been able to find decent oem replacements.
My mom has a Lexus and she always takes it in for service and I tell her don’t waste your money. So what I did is I pulled out her cabin air filter and marked it with a sharpie. The next time she rolled through, they charged her for, another new filter that lo and behold there was my # when she got back.
