They make them but are branded under the D2 racing name. I have them installed on my car.

Taiwanese company actually. Don't get them confused because quality control is totally different for these two countries. Also, most companies don't make their own stuff but more like outsourced their products to be made by others and then put there name on it. But rest assured that the D2 racing BBK is made by AP Racing... Don't ask me how I know but trust me when I say that I have personal experience and is the first to have the brake kit installed on any lexus...

The 355mm kit has not been released for sales yet. I've been testing it out for the last two months and so far it has held up good. No distributor in the states has the green light to sell them yet. But if you would like a set, please PM me and I'll get you the info to get them. I'm in the process of writing up a brake review for these before the official release.
