Yeah that was my thoughts. They have only said that it’s the front that need sorting.

I am pretty sure the last one I had on my GS was full camber, caster and toe. I don’t believe there is any adjustment on the rear of the GS. Kwik Fit did say that was £65 for just the alignment and it’s just the front that was a bit out. There is a place across town that does proper 4 wheel alignment but I am a bit apprehensive as I took my 200SX there a few years back and a lad snapped the head off one of the main Camber adjustment bolts by tightening not Loosening it. Is there any rear adjustment on the IS300h F-Sport?

Thanks. Bit out of my price range tho and not found the wind to be much of a problem on the IS300h but was terrible at times on the GS450h! It made a buffeting noise at speed that really made my ears hurt. They do look good but it’s a pity there isn’t a good aftermarket set for reasonable price.

I quite like that, it’s nice and subtle and breaks up the vast white. How much was it and do you have a link? I also think it would look good with a small rear upper spoiler. Something else I have been meaning to look into is getting back vinyl fitted on the roof and the rears tinted out. Might get some photos done at work and get the photoshop guys to give me a preview.

How much was your or set? The ones I can see are over 400 quid.

I managed to get a cracking deal on a full set of Bridgestone Turanza 6 fitted balanced eTc for £492 all in at Kwik Fit of all places ( they had a 10% discount if I had 2 or more tyres but the code took 10% off the tyres but then another 10% off the total with the balancing, disposal of old tyres and tps seals eTc)they said the front needed a alignment but I am not going to pay them 65 quid when I can get it done elsewhere for 35. on the short drive home they seem better and a little less harsh but has mad a big difference in how light the car feels to drive. I will update on the feel of the tyres once I have driven to work and back a few days. Unfortunately one thing tyres won’t really help with is the shocking state of the roads.

Are there any that you can recommend? say 4-500 quid budget? One thing that i am always weary of is, will it integrate correctly if you have the ML audio system?

Agreed.. Yeah i understand why they dont, more than most, as i have fallen foul of it! But with my IS i have the wing mirrors set to fold in when the car is all locked up so when i look at my car on CCTV i can see that its all closed up from a glance.

After a bit of digging on this forum it looks like i have found the answer. Looks like it has to be enabled in Techstream or the like. I am having brakes fitted this weekend at Lex-Tech so will ask Dave if he can enable it. If not i do have a copy of Techstream and the cable to do it myself, i just have to install a 32bit copy of windows 7 on my old laptop.

Hi Everyone, Does the IS300h F-Sport have the feature that i can unlock/lock all windows with the fob? On my GS when i pressed and held the unlock button for a few seconds it beeped then all the windows wound down and then if i pressed and held the lock button all the windows would close. It was a great* feature in summer when its nice and hot, i can wind down my windows before going to my car to let some of the heat buildup escape. Is it something that needs to be enabled like the auto door locking when the car is put into gear? *i wont mention when i accidentally had the keys in my pocket and it hammered it down overnight and i had to remove the rear seat and use a load of those moisture traps to get rid of the water... 😯

Damn... I was looking at getting a set of those fitted.. Do you happen to know of its the same on the Turanza T005? I think Costco have a deal on them currently.

Just had a look into it and i have found a set of Brigestone Turanza T005 for £84 fronts and £143 rears and they have a £25 off if you buy 4 making it £446 plus £17 delivered. I am looking to get the wheels refurbished soon so i can just take them with me and they will fit the new tyres when they have been refurbished. Even from the blurb on the website: "Bridgestone have included their B-Silent technology in the Turanza T005 tyre, to help minimise road noise and enhance driver comfort." Does that sound like a good deal?

thanks for that.. Surely they have to be the same size though for the specific wheels so they will be the same profile.. Unless i am missing something. Thanks i will look into it.. I think Costco do Michelin so can ask about them. According to the service (Just over a month ago) one tyre is almost new (I knew bout that) and the others are at about 4mm.. Its hightly possible that as the car wasnt used that much over covid period that they are past their best and causing the harshness.

Funnily enough I have seen some Michelin PS5 for the front for a good price today. Never even really thought about comfort orientated tyres to be honest. Do you have any recommendations?

Hi all, I have had my IS now for just over a month and one thing i have noticed is that the suspension is very harsh. It may be a result of the utterly terrible roads that are about and coming from a GS is making it much more noticeable. The car has full service history and there is nothing stating any issues with the shocks so i dont think there is a problem with that just a fair bit harsher than the Luxobarge GS450h.. Anyway, looking to the future has anyone managed to get a softer ride using ajustable shocks/coilovers or are the Luxury/Premier shocks/springs a straight swap considering they are aimed at comfort over sportyness? Any help is appreciated.
