nothing very special honestly, no lexus or brembo wordings, black, and blank rotors

yeah, definitely not worth spending the $10K+ your local Lexus dealership would charge for the parts........

spend your money somewhere else.

Considering where he is from, I doubt that the $10k is a problem, lol.

If the stock brakes are already stopping at 113 feet from 60mph (Autoweek), how much better are Brembos going to perform for a car that heavy? Some sites are reporting 118 feet for the Brembo equipped LS. That 113 feet runs contrary to many other reviews, so I'm not sure who to believe. I'll say this though, whenever I've had to clamp the brakes in a hurry at low speeds, they have brought the car to a halt with a thud - and not a chirp out of the tires. With 30,000 miles on the odometer, the brakes have not developed any fade or detectable runout. Strange that Lexus would put fancy 6-piston Brembos and omit cross-drilling or even slotting the rotors...

a lot of times big brakes don't stop the car faster, but more important is reduce brake fade over time. on my old gs400, brake fade was so obvious after 300 miles of driving, but bbk never had that problem.

with that said, some bbk does reduce stopping distance. people put isf brakes on their is250/350 and the stopping distance is greatly reduced. my sc430 with stoptech brakes were insane as well, totally had to relearn how to brake

and yeah, i personally think it's a fail when they put on brembo brakes on the car but with blank rotors?! that's kind of silly... i can understand one piece rotors to save cost, but blank....

Thanks for the pics Henry. Wow nothing special about the brakes I at least thought they would have "Brembo" on the calipers and some cross drilled rotors. What a bummer!!

haha, seeing the isf i think we will see lexus before we will ever see the word brembo on the calipers

but yeah, i expected AT LEAST drilled rotors @_@

I want to see Endless 8/4 on a 460.

Please please please...

do they have a setup for the ls460?

josephdoc

LOL.. they do.
Endless specially made a 8pot/front for 460/600. The 8pot front is an option but there is also the standard 6/4 kit.

AFAIK, the price is scary because us money weight much less than before.

lol yeah, 8/4 endless setup, i guess 16k easy?

josephdoc

LOL... that is about right.

I had a stroke when I heard out the price.
