The Lexus IS 250C and IS 350C can now be upgraded with a host of performance-enhancing official F-Sport accessories. First announced at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show in February the parts are available to be fitted in the convertible IS models.
Starting from under the bonnet a light-weight carbon fiber engine cover is fitted to give the area a hi-tech look. A low-restriction intake that is emission legal in the whole US keeps things environmentally-friendly.
F-Sport forged alloy wheels can be ordered in either 18-inch or 19-inch size. They are finished in a dark graphite colour to give the IS that aggressive look. The front brakes can be upgraded with six-piston fixed calipers and drilled cast-iron rotors. Lexus says they provide a firmer pedal feel and improve fade resistance under continued and repeated use.
Bilstein partnered with Lexus F-Sport for a set of shock absorbers that offer a performance suspension but at the same time keep the ride comfortable. A lowering spring set lowers the car by about an inch both in the front and rear.
The rear also features its own F-Sport brake upgrade which is similar to the front except that it uses four-piston fixed calipers but also drilled cast-iron rotors as well. The F-Sport rear brake set can only be used with the matching front brake set. The exhaust system is stainless steel with fully polished mufflers. It is fully emissions-compliant.
Interior articles include an F-Sport clutch set for the manual cars, a quick shifter made of aluminium, also for the manual transmission, a leather/ carbon fiber combo shift knob and nylon floor mats.
