Did you ever get the alignment any different or you just settled with those specs?

For now, I have settled for what I have. Once I install my new wheels I will re align and go from there

Sorry to bother you again. Your vehicle is equipped with automatic parking. The parking breaks engage as soon as you place your transmission on Park. Was there anything different installed on the rear brake calipers of your StopTech that specifically allows the Automatic Parking to engage?
Thank you

there is no modification required when u install the Stoptech brakes, everything is bolt on, the only thing will be on the way is the backing plate,u have 2 options easy one cut it off, hard one u have to take of the complete hub assembly out just to take the backing plate off.I went with the easy one, nice clean cut.

When it came time up upgrade my brakes, I figured I would go with Stop tech again like my last build. After some serious thinking and not wanting to wait 3 months to be built, I decided to just revamp my stock brakes. Went ahead and ordered another set of rotors from Lexus and sent them to Rotor pros. I told them I was looking for something different. We came up with the design you see...

Now for the painting. I got together with my painter and we came up with a Porsche yellow. Decided I was going to paint the calipers on the car. Went ahead and masked the calipers and whole car as seen in the photos. We painted the calipers then added F/sport decals purchased from Ebay. Then clear coated over them
and Viola~


Before~




Custom made slotted rotor~



Stock rotor next to Custom slotted rotor~
