I would say, most popular would definitely be Brembo.

You can see OE Brembo kits just on about every manufactured car out there.

The list not being limited to.

Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Infinity, Mitsubishi, Lexus, and the list goes on.


As far as aftermarket is concerned.

In the Show class you will see:

Endless, Project Mu, 12pot Chrome Rotora, and very little StopTech.

In the Race Class you will see:

Alot of StopTech on cars, just about as much as you see Brembo.

Next would be, Alcon and AP-Racing, but these are extremely expensive.

WilWood, is more based toward muscle cars or at least that is their major platform.

I would choose Brembo ISF BBK.

Anyone known, does ISF Brembo BBK Kits is the same quality as Brembo BBK GT or not?

If it is, $3,900 for this BBK are very cheap when compare with Brembo BBK GT.

No. OEM Brembo is not the same as Brembo GT - they are designed and manufactured by two completely different entities within Brembo. Brembo GT > Brembo OEM.

Thanks for the input javy, I know its going to clear the rears but unsure about the fronts tho. hmm too much trouble, i think im just going to stick with the oem's for now, until I get new wheels.

Out of those two, I'd choose the F-Sport BBK mainly because you retain the ability to run your stock wheels if you want to do a track day, or bring your car in to the dealership and not worry about having a porter curb your aftermarket wheels...

The oem wheels that available in my country are 17" wheels. So,anyway I need to replace them by forged 19" wheels.

I had tried to contact Stoptech company about their aftermarket service for product and they had confirm about available of replacement rotors and pads for F-Sport BBK Kits by their Stoptech AeroRotors and PFC 1038 or Axxis ULT pads.

Do you have any suggestion about the rim? I saw that F-Sport 19" Forged are offer at $1,700 for full sets. Is it good? Actually, I interest Volks or Work but the price at here were run around $3,200-3,600 for full set.

So, does the kits that sewell sell are including with IS-F hubs as you mentions? I don't care about just swap because at here to labor cost at dealer is very when comparing with USA.

As I had done with F-Sport Shock it around $10 per hour!!!

For the warranty, F-Sport are not available at my country. So,the warranty will not cover as your country.

Please recommend which one is the best choice between

IS-F Brombo BBK Kits (By Brembo with Lexus logo) @ $3,900
F-Sport BBK Kits (By Stoptech with F-Sport logo) @ $4,100

Depend on what you need from them ;


Performance ; I will choose F-Sport for 6 pistons front & 4 pistons rear. (IS-F Brembo are 6 pistons front & 2 pistons rear)

Brand ; I will go directly with IS-F Brembo. But you also can't get Brembo's brand on calipers because they put LEXUS.

Really? I saw that Sewell had testing about ISF Brembo BBK Kits with their IS350 and the outcome was conflict with you recommend. They said ISF Brembo BBK can do better than F-sport BBK when compare with their reference via www.f-sport.com

I love sewell but their testing methodology left quite a bit to be desired from what I recall of it
