Brake Kits

[micromarc]

I m thinkin about changing the front brakes on the lex.

Was tempted by the k-sport, 8-pot 330's, seem like a fair price.

Opions? anyone using anything else?

the ones on eBay?

They were discussed here: click only a couple of days ago.

If you look in the for sale section Aide's got a set of Skyline calipers modified to fit for sale there!

Adie, i ve put a few questions in your for sale post

[micromarc]

Anyone? Whats everyone else running brake wise?

[Monster-Mat]

i run stoptech, but i can strongly recommend the skyline set up that Adie is selling ^^

[sparkystav]

I'm running Supra Twin Turbo Calipers.

But i have to agree with Matt about Adies Skyline setup.

what are you running under the bonnet? and why are you wanting to upgrade the brakes? Just curious as the brakes on the IS's are the same as on the GS's and more than capable of stopping a standard 200.

Im changing mine at the end of the month but only because one of my disk's are warped and its cheaper to get some grooved and drilled after markets than it is

..and guess where the Lexus 'F Sport' BBK comes from? :winky:

;)

yup, when i was at TTE couple years back they were evaluating the different brands on the cars they had there as test mules, they asked my opinion on the stoptech stuff on the monster.

i told them i was more than impressed with it

i suppose it gave them another option they hadnt considered, .....originally the favored brand was Alcon, as used on the original IS430

i hadnt heard that they had decided on Stoptech.

Well i m planning on some sort of turbo or supercharger mods later this year.

So the way i m thinkin is barkes and handling sorted before going for the power.

2 reasons i m liking the k-sports/D2's is the look at the stopping power. I m running a set of 19's on the car andneed something to fill the gap!

Also if i ever decide to up the power more i.e. 2j which my mates are screaming for me to do, all i d have to get would be new carriers and a set off 386's ;)

brakes are a finely balanced set of intricate calculations...but hey just bang on Bigger dics

if the k-sport calipers are anything like there coilovers, id steer well clear

[micromarc]

Ok, well do you have a link or know where i could see about some stoptechs then?

[Monster-Mat]

yup sure,

as i said though, Adie has a great set up there, which is more than capable of what you need......
