Default Girodisc

Did anyone get them to make rotors for the IS-F yet?

If not, does anyone want me to get them made? I'm going to need two sets of fronts and rears anyways....

I believe they are floating and multipiece or something technical like that....

Can a CL vendor please contact me? We need a CL vendor to help out with this so it'll be approved

For the record, I have contacted girodisc..... like three years ago LOL!

iCode sells something like Girodisc, but they're pretty proud of those things for a Lexus. The biggest problem with the OEM rotors is they're 360mm, not the standard 355mm, so there might be some small issues with fitment for the F. Brembo's BBK for the F has 380mm rotors, but I think that's overkill in a number of ways, not the least of which is I don't have fade issues on the hardest track for brakes in the Southeast with the OEM discs and full race pads. Hard to imagine what I'd need to spend all that money to accomplish, and what I'd need to do to the suspension to compensate for the additional unsprung weight (bigger calipers and rotors do not come without a weight penalty.)

I googled iCode and found nothing with USD$ prices

Regarding the Brembo BBKs -- do they fit stock wheels? They seem cheaper than OEM brake job?

I am desperate to find pads and rotors asap, hence my willingness to get a set made
