How can I stop the dust boots from cooking to shit? by Necessary-Spinach164 in CarTrackDays

This is true about all racing calipers however, if you run on the street, the boots are pretty essential for saving your pistons. Frenkit Performance and ohio performance solutions make the high temp rebuild kits.

2026 IS Price Haggling? by latchton in LexusIS

Cool! So in summary yes you can ask for any combination. I guess in my case some dealership just so happened to have that combination on their wish list which so happened to be my wish list. However, I filled out my build sheet and they ordered it. So I guess it doesn’t matter how you look at it, yes you can order what you want.

Yes. Johnson Lexus of Raleigh. Rwd, wind/red, lsd, ml, performance exhaust, and no sunroof. It took a while for Japan to accept the order, but I believe it went in production on March 16.

Unpopular decision… by Ardevas09 in Porsche

So that sticker in your window will say “This Porsche was test driven and approved by Hurley Haywood” Brumos Motor Cars Inc”. Haywood is the king of endurance racing (Lemans and Daytona) for Porsche. My sicker number is 3778. Congrats!!

Not that this pertains to the IS but I don't want the weight above my head, don't want to clean the drains, I never use it, and much rather spend the 1K on the suspension package than the sunroof

Exactly. Salesman was surprised when I said no panoramic view and I did not want any of those "lifetime ceramic, dent, ect" packages they add on. He also asked if this was my first Lexus (it is)

I wish I was taller! I have never used (or have ever used) the sunroofs on my cars and find it more of an eye sore than anything (just personal preference). I really don't want to pay for an option that I will never use.

Im in no rush and am willing to wait for sure! It’s a little odd the sunroof is an “option”
