Lol no i got an agressive street pad from wilwood. And no the calipers should fit other cars all you need is the mounting blacket that moves the caliper up more to make room for the bigger rotors. If you go on the wilwood website its all very confusing and they dont give any prices... freaking annoying so i would just call them directly.

i love the bbk but i hate it how it doesn't touch the whole rotor surface. eventually it's gonna have fade on the area where it touches but the area that the pads don't touch will still be left looking untouched which I think is awkward.

Mind if I ask who your friend is?

Wilwood does not offer any brake kits for the Lexus line and the kit shown is certainly not a Wilwood produced kit. They do not produce one piece rotor/caliper relocation kits of any kind. Nor do they supply any colored braided hoses...

No doubt that's a Wilwood caliper that someone has turned into a kit for you car however it's misleading to refer to it as a "Wilwood kit" when it isn't. Any questions or problems arising from fit or use would have to be directed to the supplier you purchased it from. Please do right by them and name them so there's no further confusion.

Your right its not a kit that they sell i parted it out and made it work. I bought the calipers from my buddy at wilwood. Then i bought Brembo rotors and had a pair of mounting brackets made up to make it all work. And if you look closely to what i said in this thread i never said it was a wilwood kit i just said "My new wilwood brake kit" so **** off TROLL!
