Day by Day I think to myself "what have I done buying this car"??
I am one of those guys that could have cared less about big brakes, but day by day I want them more and more. Someone needs to start a Mod-oholics Anonymous or something!!!!
Or better yet, you guys stop making threads about things I may want!!!! Dammit!!! LOL
Hameed, if you got the 3.76 gears, then your car is going to be very very quick! Enjoy

until I stumbled upon this board I never knew a GS could look this good even though some of the lingo is still martian to me these BIG BRAKES are truly beautiful. Thank Hameed for allowing me to witness the evolution of a beast.
And I know what you guys mean about mods just did some overtime 2day to help me out

congrats on this mod Hameed they look bigger than huge
i can only imagine the difference between these and stock
are these kits just calipers and rotors?
pretty much bolt on and then bleed the brakes ?

Hameed,
VERY VERY nice indeed.. Stop by my office and let me take your baby for a test drive so I can seat those brakes in for you..
Congrats you are doing it just right buying quality parts and taking it one step at a time.. If CL has taught us anything this is the way to mod your Lexus.. I tip my cap to you!!
