Finally I got my BBK installed, beside looking nice, the brake performance drastically improves over my old front setup of Brembo blank OEM size + Akebono.

There is plenty of clearance with forged aluminum 18" SSR Competition, tire is 235/60/18 Pirelli Scorpion Zero. I have 25mm wheel adpators on all four corners to make wider stance, since offset on SSR is +45, wheels need these light weight H&R aluminum spacers to clear rear struts and able to make complete turns w/o rubbing up front.


4 piston caliper in hot red, Gorilla cold forged steel lug nuts, one that is bigger is Gorilla wheel lock.


13" rotor, two piece, cross drilled and slotted, black e-coating on non-frictional surface

Thanks, the front BBK makes my rear Rotora OEM sized slotted rotor + Akebono very ordinary looking. The rusted inner ring is not Rotora's design, in fact, you will get that as long as OEM caliper and pad are used.

Seeing that you are running the 235-60-18. I could have sworn that when I took a close up look at one Harrier at a stop light (did take a picture but it just didn't go through on my phone) it said 235-60-16, unlike the 225-70-16 stock tires on our RX300s.

Well, not everyone likes RX w/o mud flaps and roof racks, heck many could care less about BBK "RX is not a sport car"! But since you requested I took this picture to show how Rotora BBK blends into RX's appearance.
