Thanks Ed for selling me a brand New IS300 for £200, well that's the transformation that the C-one arbs have made to my car.
The whole driving experience has improved 100 fold, it turns in nicer, corners more flatter, less body roll, more positive steering action. All this adds up to a more safer and confident drive.
I can echo everyone elses comments that ARB's is the most improved mod you can carry out to your Lex.
Thanks Ed for the good price-sorry to any other members for getting in before they did, as I knew one or two was interested as well.

ohh nearly forgot, Big thanks to Dino for helping me fit them, without his help it would have taken me much longer, and with his help motivated me to fit the rears as well as I was only going to fit the fronts yesterday.

Nothing should really need replacing James when installing ARBs as long as the arb links come off ok, they will prob be seized but a good fitting 14mm combo spanner and a small pair of mole grips should remove all but the most stubborn one.

Thinking about lowering it but still not unsure as the front looks low enough but rear is high.

Want a blue flame or HKS cat back but prices still a bit high, cant justify £300 just so it looks good.

I'd really recomend getting the exhaust, certainly one of my fav things about my car!
And you got a proper nice IS300 mate, so treat it right mate, and get a HKS! LOL!

Also, if your thinking about lowering the beast, get some coilovers. BC ones are 600quid, and its worth it. Then you get set it to the perfect height! Plus, coilovers are really easy to fit, where as lowering springs I can imagine are a pain in the bum!

Hope to have some ARBs for mine after xmas, and then possibly buying a IS300 next year, and swapping all my bits onto it. But shall have to see how finances go on that one!
