They are just normal brakes. Some people paint the calipers.. Like me.

The brakes from the RC Fsport are taken from the GS Fsport, my calipers are painted red. In my opinion the perfect wheel fitment for the RC350 is 20x9+32, 20x10.5+45.if you want to purchase wheels talk to josh at Meraki bolt pattern is 5x114.3 <br >

I have the same wheels, and I agree that the specs are perfect! I have 245/35/20 tires in the front, and 285/30/20 in the rear with zero rubbing.

Why is the staggered fitment the best? Or is this just for RWD? Problem with this is you can't rotate the tires.

It fills out the fenders more, and makes the car look more aggressive- in my opinion

Also, the RC350 already has a staggered fitment from factory.

Mine is not factory staggered. So you must mean it's just RWD then.

Yes, my mistake. The RWD's are staggered. The AWD RC's are not

All cars come with calipers... Thanks, do you mean the trunk lip, or body kit? The body kit is from NIA AutoDesigns.

My kit is the full RC splitter kit. But if you want just the front lip, call Kevin tomorrow (305) 345-1308 let him know that Sherwin sent you
