According to Lexus, it's 12 minutes, but at least you're covered by the warranty.

Ok! I will try my best to take a pic of installing and after install these equipment for CL reference. But not sure that the dealer will allow to take a photo of installing or not.

At here, labor cost are very cheap. Last time, I don't count how many hour that they work on install F-Sport intake, F-Sport Suspension , Aluminum Pedal Sport, D4S 8000K, and LED Parking Wedge.

The lexus dealer charged me around $120-150 with warranty, wash my car, Soft drink and a piece of cake during waiting for sign the credit card slip.

I leave my car at 10 a.m. and pick up in next day afternoon.

How do you think? Is it OK?

My car is RWD but I don't like 19" because hard to find tires and very expensive at here.

I just install F-Sport 18" Forged wheel today and will install the following tomorrow;

1. F-Sport BBK Front & Rear

F-Sport BBK with F-Sport 18" Wheels.


" Photo by I-Phone "

Installation time around half a day.
- F-Sport 18" Wheels + GOODYEAR RS-SPORT 235/40/R18
- F-Sport BBK Front & Rear

Actually, I plan to install both F-Sport Sway-Bar and F-Sport Under Chassis Member Brace in this time. But I wake up late. So, arrive the Lexus dealer at noon.

Bleeding Brake Fluid.

The staff surprise that the F-Sport BBK have 2 point to bleeding in each caliper. (Inside & Outside)



Anyone who had install F-Sport BBK, please share your opinion about the pistons sound. When I press the brake pedal, there is a sound of air from the caliper. I think it should be the sound of pistons working. So, it was normal or not? I never tried aftermarket BBK before.

The install labor at dealer was $80. (Including with 3 bolltel of oem brake fluid)

* They charged around $10 per hour. *
