The Rotors are by Brembo as the entire system.
The F-Sport rotors are the same size but actually true 2 piece brakes, with an attaching hub. The IS-F 14.2" brakes for instance, are solid 1 piece.
Good luck on the project!

I believe that price was his "hook up" price from his friend at the Lexus dealer. Can't wait to see the pics and write up LRD.
the rotors were $200 each? I find that hard to believe. The reason the GB never materialized was the initial price was I think 1k front and 1k rear which pretty much became 1k per rotor/caliper.

I would be extremely interested to see how the LS caliper which was designed for the LS rotor would fit a much bigger 14" rotor from the IS-F..
Do you think you need to change out the brakets and mod a new bracket to acccomadate the much larger rotor?
I'm guessing that the OE bracket will not bolt on after you install the IS-F rotor...Whatever might be the case, I hope your install goes well!

it will sit high up on the rotor .. it can work and will look hot but ? is will it work effectively sitting so high up on the rotor
rem guys i did the first rear bbk oem kit for the gs400 a couple of years ago using the rear rotor and caliper from the new ls430 whch were huge ... had brackets made , everything mounted up but the caliper sat too high on the rotor for it to be effective there was about a 1in gap so although they looked great , it failed to produce the desired results
but hey good luck on project , look forward to seeing urs come off successfully
