Hi my name is stephen, I have just brought my 1st lexus, A 1 owner 1999 58,000mls and in mint condition IS200,

I have already ordered a new set of tein springs and cat back exhaust.

Hi stephen Im also from Lowestoft you may have seen me about Silver IS300,

your car is looking good bud I will keep an eye out for.

Lee

Hi all can you help I am looking to upgrade the springs on my Is300 but I am finding it hard to find any springs that are for the IS300, There are plenty out there for the 200 so my Question is will the 200 springs fit the 300?? or not because of the weight of the 300

I only want to go down 30 to 35mm

Many Thanks

Lee

It's normal most rear wheel drive cars do the same

Hi all anyone know what the paint code is for the areo 6 spoke wheels. The wheels that come with the styling kit???? Need some paint ASAP the wife has just scuffed one.

Thanks

Lee

That is quite a compliment when you look at the price of PS2's.

Thanks they really are that good I spent many hours reading tyre reviews etc trying to find a good tyre to replace the PS2's and the bouns is that the Falkens are half the price.

I will defo use them again look forward to some new patterns

Lee

Hi all the whole topic on mirror closure is under "General Lexus Forums" audio etc it also has a part about window closure

Lee

For all you people out who have been looking for this post.

I have the guides stored on my hard drive if your not able to get them from this post

Lee

They are a fantastic tyres for the money I have a full set on my Is300 and they are just as good as the michelin PS2's they replaced

Hi.

My is200 Auto has a hard to describe noise that happens from the front brakes when braking. It seems to happen from both sides when the brake pedal is imediately released after braking.

It seems to be a knocking noise of some kind. Has anyone any idea what might be the cause ? The mechanic who serviced it last time says there is nothing to worry about, I cant quite remember

what he said but it was something to do with the lexus caliper design.

Anyone any ideas of what the issue is and a possible fix ? as the noise is starting to ***** me off.

Thanks

Jason its the pads moving I have just spent the last 6 months trying to get to the bottom of the noise I replaced all the pins boots etc but still had the noise.

I was out there one day a got a flat headed screw driver and put it at the bottom on the pad to see if there was any movement, the pad moved a fair bit so I stripped them down and I have put a small gasket (had an old mini gasket in garage) under the clips that hold the pad in place and now I have no knocking.

I hope this Helps

Lee

If you find any can you pm me as im at my wits end with the brakes on my 300 (clunking) its had all the rubbers replaced only thing left to do is the actual pin.

Thanks

Lee

Thanks for all the responses. I've made a few notes and will look into costs and report back!

edit - found Falken Ziex ZE-912 on blackcircles.com (they have a fitting centre round the corner) for £76.

Are these any good? I don't really thrash my car about so I'm guessing I won't notice much difference from the Pirelli's (which are down to about 3mm of tread).

I have the is300 and as I said above just as good as the PS2's they replaced, I was also stuck for what tyre to get next without having to get a mortgage to pay for them, I have read a lot of good reviews about the Falkens

Lee

I would be interested in this guide please

adambuffery@ymail.com

What parts would I need and is it a hard job

no its an easy job with the info that I have sent you.

Lee

Hi pm me your email address I have them I can email to you.

Lee

take them off and get them skimmed, and when you put the discs on did you clean the hub back to metal and use a dial gauge, I had this problem when I first got my 300 it been fine since I just cleaned the hubs and used a dial gauge to get the run out down to a very small amount, It takes a bit of time to do as you have to keep removing the disc to move round to the next stud until you are happy.

Lee

Hi Guys,

Just wondered who was in the area as I have seen a few IS200's about and a few which have been modified.

Anyone on here in the area???

:)

Lee

Hi Im in Lowestoft..

Lee

I got mine off eBay about £5 I think

Lee

Get all the service parts yourself (japparts) or Adl Blueprint and do the job yourself you will save £££'s and as stated above they are very easy to work on.

Lee

Take one of the rubber bushes out and take it down to a Wilco or similar get them to see what they can find.

Yes mate thats the one.

Lee

I put one in my mates 200 all you need is a Autolead SOT - 913 lead and small hands as you need to get to the Amp behind the glovebox. Good bit of kit, Me on the other hand I went for the THP Bury cc9060 music hands free kit you get touch screen with this and you dont have the trouble with mounting the Remote that comes with the parrot.

hope this help Lee
