Nope, no cutting or shaving needed.

One side fit tighter than the other, but other than that, I didnt have any issues

where did you get your vertex sides and for how much?

and I'm jealous of the 350 brake upgrade. I've been wanting to switch up to 350 brakes and get drilled/slotted rotors but I've just been pushing it off haha

I got them from next mod. Not sure if you remember my whole rant about next mod but I convinced them to sell me the sides for $360 shipped as opposed to $450 shipped directly from their website

And do it bro! I love the look

I emailed them directly asking if they could combine shipping (which they can't) so I asked how much for both the front and sides shipped. I was told $630. Then they refunded me my money claiming fitment issues so I bought the front lip from someone in the classifieds. Then one of my boys bought the sides off their website so I asked them why they refused to sell to me. Then they said ok $360 shipped for the sides.

Try emailing them and see what they say

Get slotted or drilled rotors for looks (they will eat through brake pads 25% faster).

Or get blank rotors for the best pad life.

I don't mind giving up pad life for looks so I got the stop tech slotted and drilled rotors

I want to change for smthing with great look (and good efficacity btw).
I will look if there is some stop tech vendor not too expensive for ship this to france. I've seen this on ebay UK : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-IS22...item3cd01c611b

It's a great price 150€ shipped with pads incl. (in $ approx 195$) but it looks less reliable than stop tech one ^^

Too much inspiration on your topic mate, i want to buy so many things now xD

You can't have the best of both worlds with rotors.

I paid $250 shipped for my rotors because I didn't want to get cheap Chinese rotors.

I prefer also a great product with good brand. We've got good lexus car.. don't put to much ebay chinese thing on it that's correct

250$ shipped that's a great deal! I have to find this type of price for stoptech is250 rotor shipped to france by it will be hard to find.. No good shop here.. all on us/uk website ^^

Did you notice a really good change in braking with this rotor installed?

Yeah but remember these will eat through your pads faster.

And there is not supposed to be a huge improvement in braking (unless yours are really bad) because the tires is what stops the car. But I don't have to push down as much as the 250 brakes to stop

and i thought the drilled ones can disipate heat faster?
