It was a small fortune. Enough to buy a good beater car. Roughly 10k

My guess is he didnt spend god knows how muchmoney on these brakes for the occasional 100-30 mph stop before a highway exit ramp

OP...they look awesome! very jealous
I agree with you 100% but even with some occasional track days the OEM brakes are plenty. Those brakes are like using carbon brake parts and probably cost as much. I too, would LOVE to have them but they are WAY overkill.

And this is the question of the day. How much better performance does $10k buy you over stock (or a $500 Supra setup)?

nice pics doug! When you told me a few months ago, I didn't believe you. I like the color alot. So far you have the most complete IS350 I have ever seen from engine to exterior and now brakes. Just throw some audio and you are set. As for the decals for your roll call, I'm still not a fan of it, but it makes your car look faster despite the lms sc. hahah

Don't ask hahaha...I think I've tried adding it together but then the numbers started to scare me..




WP Pro is also known as Winner Power Pro. they are more known for brakes on SAABs and have been around for quite sometime..

Wait, wait... the $10K is for the brakes alone!? That can't be right... I thought he was saying that was the total price of his mods... (Although that actually seems like it's definitely on the low side for all of his mods combined.)


Quick Reply: Finally my 12 piston BBk & 6 piston rear came in..
