Default 5th gen 500H BBK upgrade


anyone in here doing the BBK upgrade? My 21 F sports requires all new brakes and rotors at 55k miles so figure to spend a little more and upgrading to the 500H BBK. These calipers are the orange for 2026 limited edition.

wow. Nice. I did the slotted rotors & brake pads upgrade on my 4th Gen RX350, but honestly I feel no difference.

You don’t need new brake lines, our OEM brake lines will work just fine. I opted for OEM rotors but you can get after market rotors for much cheaper

Just installed them today by a buddy. I’m very happy with the result as I plan to keep this car until it dies
