Get your facts straight. The IS is only two years old.

i honestly wouldn't be surprised if the calipers stopped the wheels so abruptly that the tire would slip and semi rotate around the rim thus throwing off the balance.

Maybe so, but before I bought these BBK. I contact all the BBK makers. Stoptech, Brembo, Rotora, and Endless. No one would do a 12 piston setup for the IS350. Only WP Pro wanted to do it. Any smaller setup was not a option.

However, I hope you don't track the car much or drive it hard on the street. I wouldn't expect these to work well at all with ABS or EBD, and it sounds like they will easily over power any OEM width tire with very little pedal effort (based on your initial performance impression). Those two combined make for a pretty significant safety issue.
I dont track the car, but one of these days I wanna see what it can do. As for driving the car on the street. If you ask my friends I drive it as hard as I can. The car is daily driven and not a trailer queen like some others. So far as how the BBK are I'm very happy with them. When you tap it, its a little soft at first, but when you step on it. WOW. It hurts.

Well ... I hope you would do significant testing in a parking lot somewhere to see how your ABS, EBD, brake assist, and VSC are going to work with the new setup.

BTW, how much difference is there in weight between the new and old rotors?
