Default AP Racing Brakes

Hey Guys...Thought I'd let you all know, I just got a new set of pads for my APs at Stillen, and it looks as though they are hungry to deal out the systems. They even have a special on Sport Rotors, which is cool! Anyway, thought I'd mention it...By the by...who here loves the idea of the paddle shift in the IS?

The deals are like this...
AP Racing Brakes for IS300 cars:
This system features an all-inclusive AP Racing Brake system comprised of 13" AP Cross-Drilled and Slotted rotors, red or black AP 4-Piston alloy calipers, Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines, and Ferodo DS2500 Pads. Motul 600 fluid is also available. This is currently on special pricing for $1,399. The closest competitor is offering their brakes at $2,599.
STILLEN is the exclusive North American Distributor for AP, so you will get ALL AP spec parts, not mixed and matched like some other shops.
The other deal that we having going on is on our Sport Rotors and Metal Matrix Pads. Sport Rotors are a direct replacement to stock, and offer a slotted OR cross-drilled design, and are engineered to disipate heat much more efficiently than stock. These are currently 10-20 percent off list.
We are also offering Body Styling kits at about $850.

Howdy, sorry about the late reply....yes, for now the only systems AP builds for the Lexus cars go on the front. The only other alternative we offer for the rear are our Sport Rotors and Metal Matrix Pads. They're a very capable system in and of themselves, but when coupled with the AP system, they're incredible together!
AP Finally got some red calipers by the way...so you have a choice, red calipers/black lettering, or black calipers/yellow lettering. Pretty cool, eh??

Glad you like our pricing! In terms of AP Racing, no, they don't make slotted-only rotors. It's all or nothing with them. However, we do offer our Sport Rotors and Metal Matrix Pads. This gives you the option of slotted OR cross drilled rotors. This is a direct replacement system, very easy to install and an excellent alternative to a Big Brake kit, or the OE system. Sport Rotors are also being offered at 10-20 percent off list, pads included.

I need to say though, in defense of AP Racing Brakes, one nice thing about the AP Rotors is that the cross-drilling is cast, so it's not a true drilling that takes place. Also, they are chamferred, which assists in assuring that there is little chance of cracking. So...there ya go!

I have the AP 6-piston kit for my GS430 and it too has the cross drilled holes and slotting...I am nearly at the end of my pad's life and there is no such cracking going on...
