Default Brembo Brakes

Looking for some new brakes possibly in the near future. Been lookin at the brembo brakes. I also checked out the F-sport brakes. Are the f-sport brakes brembo's or no? i can't find any price estimates for the rotor and brakes on any site when i google it. any information on aftermarket brakes would be great.

anyone here use caliper covers? afraid they might melt in extreme temps.

Why do you want big brakes? Are you tracking your car? Showing it?

PS Please don't consider caliper covers... they fall in the same category as a fake intercooler (aka 'interfooler') or fake NOS purge.

Here is the answer to some of your questions about price, etc

ISF BBK Kits are production by Brembo with screening Lexus brand on the caliper. But one thing that you need to know and aware is about their replacement brake pads. It's very expensive!!!

I heard someone who drive Lexus ISF replace their oem front brake pads with dealor at $700. So,many people who drive ISF was't use oem pads by go with aftermarket brand like Ferodo. The price around 1/3 of Oem which produce by brembo.

For OEM? I think the "Stealership", made a tad bit profit.

Brembo does not currently offer any OEM replacement rotors (which Brembo markets as their Sport Line) for the IS350. As mentioned above, StopTech does, branded both as either StopTech or Centric. No matter which one you buy, they're the exact same thing. Centric owns StopTech, and all the OEM-replacement rotors are manufactured completely by Centric (which is a good thing, BTW).
