Check out Lexmex's pulley thread, that is my next mod after installing BBK myself.

Thanks, Rotora has it listed $1995, but if you know their distributor you can get a better price. PM me if you need the inform where I bought it from. Rotora also has a 6 piston 14 inch BBK, obviously it will cost more. I will post more picture after I installed it on my RX300.

4 piston loaded caliper 9.7 lbs, unloaded 5.3 lbs,2 pistons on each side: stock is one piston, obviously can only clamp from one side.
You need 17" rims to clear 4 pot BBK, 18" rims to clear 6 pot BBK.
Pictures of what I gather so far for this BBK project.
ATE SuperBlue brake fluid and H&R 25mm spacer, 25mm is big but no need to install extended stubs

Did I mentioned forged rims? 15.4lbs per rim, that is 10lbs less than stock 16"

cantsleepnk, Here is SSR Competition (Type C in JDM)'s spec. +42 is why I got H&R spacers. I plan to mount them on Pirelli Scorpion Zero 235/60/18 (Cayenne's OEM tire). I need sticker tires (higher braking limit) so brake balance is not too front biased.
Are you into pulley -> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=190667
On exhaust, I have not found a good cat-back system. 5 zigen used to make one but not anymore.

how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking? Do you have an exhaust yet?

Speaking of mufflers, what options do I have besides those I found on L-Tuned? I'm planning on purchasing the RMM based on it's look and I've heard it sounds great.

Before I had my current Arvin muffler, I had an APC Intimidator Muffler 156020 and a 2.5 inch pipe going back from the stock resonator that eliminated the S angle. (2 inch is the normal pipe) See www.4apc.net and look under Performance then mufflers to get an idea about different types out there.

Back to my BBK project, I just bought an used acorn 12x1.5 Gorilla wheel lock off ebay.
I also want to install BBK ASAP but I need tires w/o burning my wallet. Anyone has coupon code from www.onlinetires.com?

TRD BBK shown at an auto show I attended this weekend. Very similiar design, two piece, stainless steel brake line. Only difference for TRD BBK's rotor is slotted and SS brake line does not look clear plastic "shrink wrapped".

TRD Coilover, you can see the back side of TRD BBK also.
