Default F-Sport Brakes

Hi All,

Just installed the F-Sport BBK and thought I would share some pics.
Now gotta find a set of wheels to go with this

nice!! was thinking of doing this as well.. they fit with stock 18" Fsport wheels?

did you do both the front/rear? Let us know what you think the difference in brake pedal feel and braking stoppage power

post some pics with stock wheels if you don't mind as well...

Looks great just afraid of spending the $2k+ price tag

What's the difference between these and Brembo? I was at the service center in Santa Clara today, and for front and back breaks was very expensive.

Just the front's for now will do the rears when they come off backorder. You do notice quite a difference from the initial bite and through out to full stop.

I will take some more pics in the next couple days. And yes they clear the stock wheels but barely

The previous generation IS uses the exact same setup as our 3IS

Fsports are made by Stop Tech, about ~$2.5k per axle

Brembo come standard in the ISF, aftermarket Brembo BBKs are ~$3.5k per axel

It is the same.. Since I am the parts manager at a Lexus store I have access and checked the part numbers and they match 2IS
