wow nice!!! I was just thinking about brakes today for the RX...

how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking? Do you have an exhaust yet?

Very nice!!! What are the specs? And how much for that set? Was wondering to pick those up for my RX300, along with my 1st gen LS4.....otherwise congrats to ya'!

TunedRX300

Thanks, Rotora has it listed $1995, but if you know their distributor you can get a better price. PM me if you need the inform where I bought it from. Rotora also has a 6 piston 14 inch BBK, obviously it will cost more. I will post more picture after I installed it on my RX300.

TunedRX300

Rotor is 330x30, two piece, with directional vanes; stock is 298mm, one piece, straight vanes
4 piston loaded caliper 9.7 lbs, unloaded 5.3 lbs,2 pistons on each side: stock is one piston, obviously can only clamp from one side.
You need 17" rims to clear 4 pot BBK, 18" rims to clear 6 pot BBK.
Pictures of what I gather so far for this BBK project.

ATE SuperBlue brake fluid and H&R 25mm spacer, 25mm is big but no need to install extended stubs

SSR Competition forged 18x7.5,

Did I mentioned forged rims? 15.4lbs per rim, that is 10lbs less than stock 16"


Now my RX can smoke MDX in performance braking, I need more HP from 1mzfe, anyone wants to join us in Lexmex's pulley thread?

Love the wheels and the BBK. What are the specs on those SSRs.

Please post pictures and driving (braking!) impressions for the BBK when done .

TunedRX300

cantsleepnk, Here is SSR Competition (Type C in JDM)'s spec. +42 is why I got H&R spacers. I plan to mount them on Pirelli Scorpion Zero 235/60/18 (Cayenne's OEM tire). I need sticker tires (higher braking limit) so brake balance is not too front biased.
Are you into pulley -> https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=190667

On exhaust, I have not found a good cat-back system. 5 zigen used to make one but not anymore.

Lexmex

If you get an Arvin muffler...they make ones that have two slots. You can make a Y-pipe behind your resonator (don't ditch it or get another one as it is loud...I know from experience) with two twin 2.25 inch pipes going into that muffler. Gives it a burly sound but not enough to attract unwanted attention unless you go through neighborhoods at WOT.

Speaking of mufflers, what options do I have besides those I found on L-Tuned? I'm planning on purchasing the RMM based on it's look and I've heard it sounds great.

Lexmex

Before I had my current Arvin muffler, I had an APC Intimidator Muffler 156020 and a 2.5 inch pipe going back from the stock resonator that eliminated the S angle. (2 inch is the normal pipe) See www.4apc.net and look under Performance then mufflers to get an idea about different types out there.

tcheung87

Tuned, I'm drooling just looking at that BBK............... Lol can't wait till you finish to show us!

TunedRX300

Do you have a sound clip?
Back to my BBK project, I just bought an used acorn 12x1.5 Gorilla wheel lock off ebay.
I also want to install BBK ASAP but I need tires w/o burning my wallet. Anyone has coupon code from www.onlinetires.com?

TunedRX300

Got a set of new Gorilla wheel lock off ebay. Now I just need tires to complete my BBK project.

TRD BBK shown at an auto show I attended this weekend. Very similiar design, two piece, stainless steel brake line. Only difference for TRD BBK's rotor is slotted and SS brake line does not look clear plastic "shrink wrapped".

TRD Coilover, you can see the back side of TRD BBK also.
