Default Sewell big brake kit

I was scrolling through sewell parts website and I came across their big brake kit for 07-09 model. Ive emailed them and they said this kit is similar to the 10-12 sport model. I was wondering has anyone bought it yet? and how does it perform? Can you also take a picture of the calipers that would be very useful. I don't drive my car much but when I do I feel like the brakes are lacking a bit with my 22's. I don't want to spend big money on brembo so this is another alternative option. Plus with club lexus discount price came down to $747.82 plus shipping which is pretty good IMO.

So after getting off the phone with sewell service department they said that i will no longer be able to use my oem 18" anymore since these calipers are bigger. So if I were to install them on my car I would need to buy 19" and larger wheels for them to fit.

You need to register for the site and there will be a place where you could enter your club lexus nickname. Every time you log on the discount will be automatically.

If your cars has the touring package there is no need to buy the rears because they are the same size.

I've actually have the rear "BBK" from the Sewell site. The Sewell site is a bit misleading as that the "BBK" package does not include the calipers. It only includes the rotors, the rotor hats and the pads iirc. You'll need to buy some extra parts when you order this in order to put it altogether. Took a while, but a good option the rears.

I have an 08 460L with the touring, if your came standard with 19" wheels in 07-08 more than likely you will have the touring package.
