12-Piston KSport BBK
I've always admired all the Brembos, StopTechs, Project Mu, and Rotora BBK that I see on Club Lexus, so I decided to get something truly ridiculous.
Here's the stats:
12-Piston Aluminum Calipers
380mm (15") Ventilated disks
Stainless Steel brake lines
Aluminum hats
NEW INFORMATION: Weight Comparison
Stock 4-Piston Calipers: 11.5 lbs each
Stock 13.15" Rotors: 24.5 lbs each
KSport 12-Piston Aluminum Calipers: 8.8 lbs each
KSport 15" Rotors: 24.5 lbs each
I'm planning to provide a write-up with impressions and more measurements soon, but I was so excited to get them installed that I wanted to post some pics (at the expense of weak camera skills).

They look great!
I'm curious about how many pistons are necessary before the law of diminishing returns kicks in. Also, the pistons must get smaller to fit more of them into a finite space, correct? Does the distribution of the pistons provide more even force on the brake pad than a 2 or 4 pot system? Is the actual braking force more linear than it is with stock brakes?
Just curious.
