Wait... don't you have the dual throttle bodies? I didn't think they made an intake for our VVTi equipped cars. Either I'm horribly out of the loop, or you need to cancel that order and spend money elsewhere... not trying to be rude, just trying to help you save some money and heartache.

Cool

You could make one for under $50 easily enough. It's just an intake man, no big deal ya know.

That's true, too. I "made" mine for a whole "free-ninety-nine"... does a great job of sounding a whole lot meaner than it really is.

That's one thing I am seriously considering next spring, as it would just look sick imo!

As for my christmas.....got my wheels at this time last year, I am currently in process of ordering my suspension setup...and contemplating exhaust options, although I suspect that will be more of a spring thing too!

W. David...... it's not what you think.....they are Brembo, but just oem size brembo rotors

I searched and they don't make a true BBK for our cars...

I did call stoptech or was it wilwood .....anyway they can special make it but its aloooot of loot.

I wish there was at least a nice 6 piston caliper and some true larger cross drilled rotors available.
here is a link to last years thread..https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=144079

Surely there's a brake kit out there which would be applicable to our car....I simply will not believe otherwise (nor do I want to, since I want one!!)

All that's left now is to find one.....

Gato, excuse my ignorance, but how can a BBK be application specific? I realize the size of some of these kits can require 19 and 20 inch wheels........but there's gotta be something out there that will fit a 17 or 18 and can be easily modified for an ES. It should be obvious to you that I have no clue what I'm talking about......so fill me in, what am I missing? I thought brakes were brakes!
