I have to paint my IS350 calipers, quick question... Why does everyone seem to use Lexus decals..instead of Brembo? I have been told that the stock 4 piston monoblock calipers are made by Brembo but I haven't been able to verify that yet.

Because the IS350 calipers are not Brembo, they are Advics. IS-F brakes are Brembo.

Because that would amount to lying..

I guess you missed the line "I have been told that the stock 4 piston monoblock calipers are made by Brembo but I haven't been able to verify that yet."

That's why we ask questions...

Nice looking car btw... I'm hoping to get mine there shortly..

Thanks... Do you have any info on Advics? I hadn't heard of them.. They seem well made.. I'll Google them, but it is always nice to hear directly from someone who has first hand knowledge, verses someone parroting without any actual experience.

I see their marketing stuff... How well do they work in the real world...pushing them a bit?.. SO far they seem great but they are brand new..

If you are going to paint them, check out my post here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/6673799-post151.html. I just painted mine last weekend, and I'm extremely happy with it. Love seeing them every time I walk out to the car, and actually the project was pretty fun.

The whole thread my post is in is a good read.
