Yea the price i got yesterday on the 8pot was crazy LOL.. Being that its a larger caliper than the Rotora 4pot I'm worried about fitment with my Axis Hiros.. The price can't be beat..

I'm assuming that you're running the 330mm kit right? Because I know for a fact that the 355mm kit will not clear 17's. Your best bet if you want something cheap is to find yourself some IS350 wheels and run them. They'll clear the caliper and rotor perfectly.

If you get the 355mm front rotor, slap on some IS350 wheels and they will clear fine. I've been using these wheels on my setup for the last three years. Oh, don't think about the piston number. Piston count is all about even distribution of the pad to make contact with the outer brake ring. It's not really about clamping force. Take it from someone who's done some work with the boys(Performance Friction) over in Clover SC.

Well the Ksport is 330mm for the pro comp kit. I tried to call Axis and of course no one is there LOL... My question is if the Rotora 4pot are 330mm and the Ksport is 330mm is that the length? My wheels look like they have plenty of room. If your saying the 8pot can clear is350 wheels than I'm sure the caliper can clear the Axis with a 35 front offest and 40 offset rear..

What do you think?

330mm is the size of the rotor itself.

13"

Ksport should have a brake diagram they can email you so you can make a template out of like cardboard. Then just take a wheel off and use the template to see if your wheels will clear.

If your front offset is +35, then it will clear the calipers. And why are you just rocking the 330mm setup? I'd go with the larger kit for more clearance. If you ever consider D2, let me know.

The price on the brakes your taking about seems a bit unreal for the 8 Pistons, but it is what it is while I don't see any reviews on them I'm still wondering how off could a 8 Piston be...I would like to hear how it went with the BBK that was order though...

Still trying to workout a few things with the brakes and vendors.. I wish there were reviews on the Wilwood BBK.. Saw that Wilwood kit on ebay for a crazy price but no reviews for a lexus.. They can't be that bad.. 4 pot, 13'' rotor, etc..

For KSport the 12" rears usually do not function with the OEM handbrake. Not sure on the GS, but I know this is the case on the IS350. With the pricing I get on the KSports, it is definitely my obvious choice.

i wouldn't use any of those brand... ksport and rotora bbk are just for looks.... i would go get a brand that has done some real R & D and are made to perform better... like wilwood, baer, brembo, stoptech, endless, project mu, and ap racing... i'm sure they're a few more brands that i can't think of right now....

just my $0.02...

You need wheels and a drop next.

the newer brands on the market are probably replicas of other bbk calipers.
