All installed by me to save 300.00 on installation. Call it an early Christmas present. I'm done for now. All I need are a new set of struts/springs and brake pads and I'll be a happy man. Anyone wanna donate to my need struts/pads fund?

Check out the product PDF here......
That sure look sweet, but at present time, I have much better things to spend 2K on. Only way I would even consider such an investment is if I was absolutely sure the car would be staying around for a few more year, and even then, the cost still doesn't seem like a smart investment.
There is another company, "precision braking company" who also makes a kit. Never heard of them, but their product looks good. They are a major distributor for Wilwood.
Regardless, I think I'll just stick with my painted calipers, and upgrade the rotors/pads and brake lines.

Rotora use a clear tube and shrink wrap it on the stainless steel brake lines so the sand particles won't be caught between braid. SS line rupture was my biggest concern but that protective sleeve is a big welcome.
Rotora's tech support Alvin was very prompt to reply to my emails. Give me the part number for RX300 application (not on their web), weight of 4 pot and 6 pot caliper, even pricing for upgrading to forged calipers.
Anyone that thinks BBK is not for Lexus SUV should take a look at Porsche Cayenne, 6 pot front and 4 pot rear calipers STANDARD on all three models.
Last, anyone wants to join Lexmex's lightweight pulley thread for 1mzfe? I cross checked, ES has the same stock pulley size as RX.
