Put IS-F forged wheels and BBK on...it might break the bank but it sure would look cool...Brembo & BBS.

Kurtz is absolutely right on this one guys. I remember reading the thread he linked to. This site was also posted there. Read it if you want to know how brakes actually work.. http://mkiv.com/tmp/pulp_friction/. That article came out of Grassroots Motorsports.

I was thinking of Endless at first, but Brembo's got the name and race heritage.

Drilled would be for show, even though Slotted may be better, but red calipers oo. I don't plan on making this a track car.

I talked to Livermore Performance and they said yeah, it wouldn't fit, might need to do some spacing on the wheels.

The new Lexus Sport Rotors are drilled


So then Brembos are currently out of the picture for me because I have yet to find an aftermarket 19-20" wheel that I really like. Are 350 calipers a direct fit, or would I have to do the whole upgrade? Are there other bbk that can fit with the 18" and have red or a blue caliper setup?

Thanks

yes, because sadly most of the SEMA parts Lexus announced are for show, not go. Drilled rotors look great on a show car... they just don't stop as well as non-drilled, or last as long.

Here's a thread on swapping IS350 brakes onto the 250...it's not a simple task.
