Had these on for over a month now- pretty happy with them. They do *not* fit behind the stock is500 enkei wheels without a spacer. Piece of advice- spend the extra $$ and get the lighter 2-piece rotors and less dust pads. I will be swapping over both once these are worn.

 

Not IS500 related, but I upgraded to the RX500 brakes on my RX!

400mm of stopping power!

 

@IntrinoX i don't want to be that guy, but will...why post this in the IS500 forum? Unless this a suitable sub for a BBK upgrade on this chassis? Not mad at your upgrade, but there's a more correct forum for your posting.

 

RX and NX Forums

I posted this solution over there, he should have just posted his project on one of those threads.

 

Nah, he is alright guys. He is just sharing his pride of his project and success. I am happy for him. Overall it is a Lexus forum. At least he isn't driving a ???, enter your most despised car here!

 

I thought the RX500 had 6 piston brakes on it already??

 

actually, it really isn't. if you see the next post after yours (no dis on 95bat), things will start going off topic of the original post/thread and discussions will commence. then mods step in and then do their thing.

 

I thought we were friends /sarcasm

We do tend to go off topic easily lol

 

"You know I love you Batty!!!"- animated Joker voice

 

A brief detour here and there is ok to go off topic to me. But otherwise...

 

I get your point. I guess I am so darn old school I am not aware of all the etiquette on such things. Other than a forum or two, I do not have what one would call I guess a social media foot print.

 

Agreed even thought it's not the same platform it still neat to see others doing caliper retrofits/upgrades. If it's anything like the CT group here on CL, it's pretty dead. It gets annoying posting stuff in certain groups and they just are not active. Sometimes to me it's OK to see stuff like this even though it's not the same platform. Sometimes just posting a picture and then a link to the original or subgroup is good too and it won't take away from the main thread. It sure is better than people posting in the wrong sub forum asking a techincal question like "my ls430 is making a noise when I turn, what should I look for"... Those should be moved/eliminated.

*still wanting to see what people will do for the rear e-brake. Has anyone verified yet on the RCF's new electronic parking brake?

the last time i looked (it's been a min) the 2023 RCF parts were not coming up in any Lexus parts site, so we're still waiting...

 

Just received our first '23 RCF here at our dealer, but still nothing on parts... Cant get em yet.

 

wow...congrats! dealers out my way don't know when they're going to receive any '23s
