Hey thanks

You can contact our vendor here JapanParts will give you great deal

I've contacted Lexon directly but it was a headache to communicate with them even though I've got my spoiler.

Guys,


There are no good rotor blanks at this time that RR Racing can make slotted for the rear. In our opinion, it is more important to have good quality metallurgy than the issue of slotted front and drilled rear. However, we hear you as well from the mismatch perspective.


So here is the question: would you prefer just drilled front rotors, or drilled and slotted front rotors to match with our drilled rear rotors? Many luxury car models come with drilled and slotted rotors (e.g., Mercedes AMG).


We will appreciate your feedback, and you will appreciate buying the best brake kits for the ISX on the market at the best price!


Thank you!
Simon, COO, RR Racing

I know drilled and slotted have their pros/cons but if you can't change the rear drilled rotors then front drilled in my opinion is best....basically matching front/rear

Love the slotted rotors and the calipers! How's the brake feel as compared to before? And how does the car ride on 19's? Do you feel any difference on our roads?

Thanks
The brakes definitely feel stronger than stock i'm still getting used to light depressing the pedal. The ride comfort depends on the springs more than the rim's, I got Swift springs and they're the most comfortable springs feel so close to stock and i believe the difference in ride feel is just more road feel due to 19's.

With this setup, taking the car to a track won't be a problem at all

Also, i have a noob question since i don't know much about this. Does installing aftermarket springs interfere with the adjustable dampers?

I believe they're strong enough to handle the heat and washing, taking off the RR racing stickers wasn't easy and i got 3 sets in case the Fsports came off.
