If I'm understanding your statement correctly, you're asking if it's $4,100 for both front and rear F-Sport brakes. If this is correct, then yes you are correct.
We've sold a few IS350 BBK's already for the IS250, including my own. Impressive!

Hey Darrel
Here is an idea...
I agree for sure the 18x8" Split 5 spoke wheel did not fit up front on an IS-F due to caliper size.
But when I tested the 18x8.5” Split 5 spoke wheel in the rear it fit and cleared the rear IS-F caliper.
We have also received a report here on CL that the Lexus 18” ISP Mode wheel(s) clear the brakes. Not sure which size was used to clear Front & Rear, but it was for a winter tire set up on an IS-F
This would be a good opportunity for you guys to take every available 18" or 19" Lexus IS Model (Standard or Optional) Wheel you have on hand (staggered and/or non-staggered) and test the front and rear caliper clearances accordingly on your IS350 with IS-F Brakes.
Again just an idea..

Hey Joe,
I think they did a test...there is a youtube video of them trying to put the 18x8.5 rear rims for a ISx50 onto the front of the IS-F brake system and it didn't work...
here is the link...

and
You & I tested the 18x8 Split 5 spoke on the front of you IS-F and that certainly didn't fit either...

Darrel, just wanted to clear up something, in the first page you said $4100 for the F-Sport BBK but above you say $4000. So is it $4000 now?

I have a quick question too... I ordered the IS350 upgrade kit for my IS250 with out the rotors and was wondering will the rotoras rotors from the link below fit? and should i get the ones for the is250 or the is350 form the drop down menu. Any input will be appreciated.

why would you want to do that instead of getting everything for the is-f? rotors can be very different from each other. not just diameter, but also the thickness, contact areas, etc... any mismatch and the calipers might not work well with it
not to mention the rotors in that thread, are they just stock replacement or larger size? you know the is-f brakes are larger than either the is250 or is350 right?
