NOTE: 5mm wheel spacers are required to fit stock Lexus wheels.

FEATURES/BENEFITS:

Fully cast and CNC machined to ensure the highest quality; Rotora's high performance brake system enables superior brake modulation while improving overall pedal feel to ensure equal distribution of weight transfer when braking. To achieve this proportional front-to-rear brake bias, Rotora’s 2-piece cast aluminum calipers are fine tuned by increasing the clamp load to the optimal level while utilizing the stock master cylinder to retain overall front-to-rear brake bias.
-Rotora’s two piece cast aluminum, heat-treated (4-piston) calipers (application specific) provides stock pedal feel while increasing the clamp load/force to ensure equal distribution of weight transfer during braking.
-Rotora’s street performance pads that are included were designed to improved stopping distance while keeping the squeal at a minimum. Provides higher coefficient of friction which work exceptionally well under high temperatures. The ideal pad for all-around performance.
-Stainless steel, braided brake lines prevent brake hose expansion under pressure and improve stiffer pedal feel. All Rotora’s steel braided lines are DOT approved and pressure tested to 3,000 psi to meet FMVSS-106 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) standard.
-Cross drilled/slotted rotors to ensure heat dissipation for continuous hard braking (which helps reduce warping, and brake fade) and keeping the rotor and brake pad surface free of excess brake dust and debris.
-"E-coated" (black) finish plating on rotors to prolong life and reduce rust build up.
-Direct bolt on replacement to all stock front brake system (some applications requires the removal of the stock dust cover shield).
-Larger surface area compared to stock O.E. rotors which will increase brake performance.
-All systems are abs compatible.
-All pistons with dust seals.

Another Big Brake Kit? Anyone has any opinion/feedback on these? Any other rotor color Steve? Black?

Looks like a good deal if there has been good experience with these. Thanks Steve.

Neo,

I'll have these on my 1997 SC300 in 2-3 weeks, I didn't advertise for the SC because they haven't done any fitment on them, we all know the Turbo Supra Calipers fit the SC and GS.......

C'mon down to the dealer, I'll let you do a test drive!!!

Steve,

Do these fit the standard 16" and 17" Lexus wheels that come with the 2nd gen GS400?

Stealther,

Yes, they will work on the stock 16'' and 17'' Lexus wheels, but a 5mm wheel spacer is needed................

Looks very interesting! Thanks for bringing this to us Steve. I've never heard of Rotora (not that I'm any expert on brakes), so it's hard for me to have comfort with a purchase like this. Do you know of any Lexus owner running a Rotara package?

I'm assuming they'll fit fine under my high disc 19"s which have tons of clearance from the stock caliper. But what if they don't fit? I'm not interested in spacers.

Also, blue or red calipers only is a bit disappointing to be honest for my silver GS. I'd rather silver or black.

But it does sound interesting!

Steve, how soon can they be shipped out? We wouldnt have to wait until the GB ends to be shipped, would we? Are these calipers smaller than the Supra TT calipers in size? It seems that if they only need a 5mm spacer for the stock 17's than they actually give you more room for fitment than the Supra upgrade, is this right?

Basically I want to jump into this GB, but IM trying to figure out how I know if they will fit behind my HRE's/ Once I know that, my money as as good as paid, I need brakes REALLY bad right now.

Thanks in advance.

By the way, if these do fit, does anyone have an opinion on whcih color to go with on a Black GS. Im thinking the red.


Im thinking that I could measure the room I have with my HRE's between the rotor and the spokes. Then put a stock wheel on the car and measure the distance at the same spots. If the difference is more than 5mm, then I should be fine. Does that make any sense?
