Default Ceramic breakes

For the RC F, is there an aftermarket (front back rotors, pads etc) break kit that doesn't cost as much as a new economy car?

THX

I'm working with Figs in development for their RC F CCM brake kit. Should be installed in 2-3 weeks. It's not cheap, but it's not Alcon pricing either. The calipers are from RBperformance. You can go to their website and take a looky loo at their CCM kits. Expect pricing to be around 15K .









Total kit contents:
This kit includes:
2 RB 6-piston caliper (7075-T6 forged aluminum alloy)
2 RB 4-piston rear caliper (6061-T6 forged aluminum alloy)
2 Front CCM-X Rotor (380x34mm - Surface Transforms specifically made to RB specs)
2 Rear CCM-X Rotor (380x30mm - Surface Transforms specifically made to RB specs)
4 Aluminum spacers
1 Car set brake pad (ZR1 OE pads or equivalent)
1 Car set SS brake line exclusively built by RB eliminating OE rigid lines
8 M12x1.5 alloy steel caliper mounting bolts
4 Bottle 1/2 liter Motul or Castrol Brake Fluid

They look very nice.


I was able to fit my 2014 GTR with full ceramic brakes for about $8300.


at 19k retail I don't think that is something I would do.




Again, I don't want to be able to buy a new economy car for less than the cost of ceramic breaks for the rc f


but I do appreciate the prompt option.


I can almost see a 10k kit, but really cant justify to myself a 19k kit


thx

Oh no, nobody pays msrp. This kit should retail for ~15k. I'm sure there could be a group buy that could knock off some more. Once. Get them installed I'll post up some reviews. I have a track date coming up and should be able to provide you guys with some real feedback. I can totally understand your point about the 19k. I have the pricing, but it's not my place to quote it. I'm sure FIGS would happily start a group buy for Club Lexus.
