    What did you get the Denso ones (IK20) or HKS?
  2. ColinBarber
    I cannot really see how it can be a sticky caliper. Sticky caliper normally overheats the disc and warps it, you then get wobbles which won't go away until you replace the disc. Maybe a sticky piston (dual piston brakes) which is putting uneven pressure on the disc? I still think it is rust on the surface - different thickness under the pads to the rest of the disc which causes the wobble. The rust would be worn off very quickly though.

    Probably just rust on the disc surfaces which will wear off after a short time.

    I don't like the drive when the lid is down. Make sure you don't get one with the runflat tyres.

    Hope you got 6 plugs not just 4

    Centre bore is much bigger on the BMW. The problem with buying new hubs is you can't get them. Who would make a hub for a Lexus when it does even fit the wheels? You would have to get them custom made, fit new discs and probably have to reposition the caliper mounting.

    Don't think you will notice any different. I've got something like that on my car. Maybe made it idle a bit smoother. People say they notice a difference with e-shift on the IS300.
  12. ColinBarber
    They all do that a bit don't they? Suspension is quite soft. Have you driven any other LSs at that age to compare?
  13. ColinBarber
    The IS200 standard battery is only 48Ah which is small. I guess you are talking about the oxygen sensor heaters as a cat doesn't have a heater? The cat heats up from the exhaust gases.

    About 7mm

    Yes the black unit on the right (it should have it written on it). The unit on the left is the throttle motor.
  17. ColinBarber
    No thats the accelerator position sensor. Should be on the other side of the throttle body.

    on the throttle body. I'll try and find a diagram
  21. ColinBarber
    This should be the part number: GBNGA-5E271

    NipponDenso renamed themselves to just Denso 8 years ago.
  23. ColinBarber
    How much have you got to spend?
  24. ColinBarber
    Denso model IK20. I believe the HKS ones are just rebadged Denso
  25. ColinBarber
    Do you mean higher heat rating? Only required if you increase your engine bhp. Denso Iridium Power are the best ones to get. Stick with the stock heat rating. Get them from the US. Lots for sale on ebay.com
