[QUOTE=IssaV8;11419385]I ordered my calipers from Bell Lexus in AZ, Brembo rotors from eBay, pads from Arrowhead Lexus.
Calipers can be found by looking under (as an example) 2019 GSF or RCF

do you need any other parts besides those to complete the assembly? Did you upgrade the brake lines?

What I purchased:
  • 47730-0W150 & 47750-0W150 Calipers (these part numbers are for Orange- it was just what I had handy; I went Blue)
  • 04465-0W19 Brake Pads
  • 43512-0W10 & 43516-0W02 Rotors
  • 049470W020 Pin Kit (fitting kit, front) x2 (make sure you get 2)
  • 049450W020 Shim kit (front) (I am not sure if this is needed, but it was $13, and I figured to have it on hand just in case)
  • 950-44003 Stoptech Lines (front)
I also purchased rear ss lines since I'll be doing a flush anyway. 980-44504 for rear

if the new RCF has the ebrake for the rears and fixes the message on warning panel, then I'm in for all four corners. I was just going to do the front end, but it looks incomplete...even if the stock rears were color matched.

Why would you need to get the orange 2020 ones opposed to 2019?

You dont have to but if you want this color, then you have to get the one that say 2019 and later which first came out on the 2020. If not you get the standard orange.

ya I’m just going to get the orange powder coated because that color would not work with the incognito.

installing the fronts isn't bad at all if you've ever changed brakes before. there's more work that has to be done for the rears...also have to get an adapter from Phi!

If you don't mind me asking, roughly what was the ballpark cost for the parts on this project?

Just for parts, under $1300ish (including optional SS lines). However- I purchased everything in December when Lexus was offering 12% off and before what looks like a small price hike on parts. I went through Bell Lexus in AZ for most parts, eBay for rotors, Arrowhead Lexus AZ for pads, Amazon for stoptech lines F & R
What I paid-
$308/ea OEM new calipers
$274 OEM Pads
$120/ea OEM Brembo Rotors
$130is F&R Stoptech Steel lines
and peripheral OEM items like the 2 pin kits, shim kit, bleeder caps all under $60 total
