The F-Sport Rear BBK Fitment Saga !!!
#17
The original bolts and set screws that secure the bolts that mount the caliper to the bracket were re-used from the ones supplied in the BBK.

Unfortunately, myself and another forum member were led to believe the rear kit was a direct bolt on and had been verified by Sewell. Needless to say, there were a lot of apologies and customer service shown. Sewell did the right thing given the circumstance!
Sewell was pretty good about handling this as our misfortune had them pull the kit from their website for the 2014 IS 350 model..

They have the rear listed on their site as of now. I've been thinking of purchasing the F-Sport BBK from Sewell, any ideas if they updated the rears to completely fit with our 3ISs?

A while ago, I ordered both a front and rear F-Sport BBK for my 2014 IS350 from Sewell. One of my buddies and I decided to tackle the install. We did the fronts first, which fit perfectly...then a few days later attempted the rears. Obviously without knowing, we assumed the 06-13 brackets would fit...but didn't because the hub and caliper are different. After doing some digging, I realized that the OEM caliper was the same as the 2013 GS350, so I called Stop Tech and ordered the rear brackets for their BBK for that car, which was also an ST40 caliper. I figured this was bound to work...and it did. The bracket lined up perfectly with the hub, so naturally we assumed that this was it. However, later that day I got a call from my friend who said it when he mounted everything up, the pad was not catching the rotor 100%. So this is what we were left with..
After measuring, we broke down the numbers and realized that we need to have a new set of brackets machined. During this time, another forum member, afdavey, contacted me about any issues with the install since he had ordered the kit for his 2014 as well. So we sought out to get these new brackets made.
Finally after waiting a couple weeks for the shop to custom make 2 sets, for a pretty penny, I picked them up on Tuesday and they work flawlessly. They are much better then even the original set, quality wise. This is what we got !! ( I know the left rotor is on the right side...my mistake when I put it on to test )
If anyone out there is interested getting a set of brackets for the rears, PM either afdavey or I and we'll hook you up. Just wanted to share this cool project with you guys : ) Happy New Year!
