damn... considering it... how much did it run you total with installation and where did you get it from?

 

very nice!!! I didn't realize how much bigger the 350 brakes were compared to the 250..never been curious to know..maybe now I will appreciate my stock brakes more....very nicely done. Do you feel any difference?

 

You guys think the is350 kit will fit an is250's stock rims if it has spacers? Im thinking spacers wont even matter but I just want to make sure

 

good job. =] how much was it all together for the swap

 

doubt you'll need spacers... unless you have the 17" wheels.... if you got the stock 18s... you should be good..

 

I got mine from another CL members so you can't really compare my prices.

For comparison sewell sells the kit for $787: linkie


The IS350 brakes should fit the stock 17's without any problem since orig equip are 17's. 18 or 19 stocks should be fine as well.

nice setup...how is ur braking now vs. previously?

 

nice
I can't wait to do mine

 

Your stopping power is slightly improved with the bigger rotors and calipers. The brake sensitivity also doesn't seem as twitchy/grabby as before.

 

are there drilled/slotted rotors for the is350? i'm doing a is350 brake swap, already found the calipers..just need the drilled/slotted rotors -_- i just found the drilled/slotted ones from stoptech in the rears..need em up front

 

WOT, that's CLOSE!!!!!!!!!

 

hit me up, Rotora have both front and rear I remember.

 

lookin good!

 

yes they do make slot/drilled but alot of people will not recommend it. There was a whole debate of why not to use slot or drilled rotors. Search in the brake forum..

that's what i told you! Good thing i got those spacers. Even tommy was shocked how close it was. It's literally bare min clearance without any issues.

 

Not really.

Larger brakes will not stop the car in any shorter distance than the stock ones will.

Brakes don't stop the car, tires do.

Changing brake parts -can- certainly change the "feel" of the system, but it won't make the car stop in any shorter distance.

And yes, drilling is the worst thing you can do to a rotor...nobody who understands brakes really debates that... for a street car a drilled rotor is inferior in every single way to a blank undrilled one. (except arguably that the drilled one "looks" better).

Slotted on the other hand can be useful if you use the car at the track, but otherwise just stick to blank.
