I think there may be another thread on this, but does anyone know if this is a direct swap from the stock brakes?

For the front - yes ... if you have the 18" stock f-sport wheels - after install the wheel may need to be re-balanced as the wheel weights "may" interfere in hitting the caliper... the Lexus instructions are excellent (I believe u can get them off the Sewell site) - just pre-read and follow them. Also you need to remove the front dust shields as part of the install.

Unless Lexus changed the bracket for the 2014 rear set-up to mount the caliper - the kit will not be a direct replacement as the caliper brackets are different for the 2014. Do a search on the site as this has been hashed out a few months ago.

Some folks have had brackets fabricated. In this event, some modification to the rear dust shield is required (cutting) to get the rear rotors installed.


Below is the rear dust shield cut and being re-painted. > picture a pie pan and your cutting off the the raised edge so what remains is the flat bottom of the pan.
