Default GI: 15"(380mm) front and 14" (true 360mm) rear BBK

Hi guys, we are done with the pre-design on our new BBK featuring a 380mm front 6POT and 360mm rear 4POT and I wanted to see how many would be interested. 19" min wheel will be required but the calipers are extremely efficient and compact so they should offer a wide range of aftermarket wheel clearance (stock confirmed).

The kit is made by our tried and true brake manufacturer, RacingBrake, who has done extensive testing with the same ring sizes on the Nissan GTR. These are 100% made in the USA in Fullerton CA and the technology is on par with any of the European manufacturers at significant cost parity. A 2-piece center-mount floating rotor design is part of the package as are several pad compounds. Looking for interested people to help us with the product pilot and trying to get 5 packages sold before we pull the trigger on the run.

Here are some pics.




we will also have a hard anodize black option for an additional charge. Pricing is set around $6199 but I am working on the final numbers based on how many I can build up front. PM with any additional questions.

Mike

Mike, these are GREAT! The added "look" alone from a 380/360 setup is jaw dropping in person. I would expect nothing but top notch quality out of your collaboration with RB. Cant wait to see these on the F!

Sorry ERDoc74, I replied but looks like it did not post it. What would you do with the calipers only? These are complete kits, calipers, loaded,lines and 2 P rotors. We will also have a true 14" kit front kit with the same calipers.
I am just going to do it since no chime ins. Production to start next week.

These will surely look great behind the wheels. I actually like that color of the calipers pictured.
I might just have to upgrade yet again from the current 2 piece rotors to this which should be the last brake upgrade ever needed. Having brakes that cool more efficiently then the bulky stock calipers would be a good improvement.

first kit is in and will be installed later this week. Rear rings ar enow EDP coated so that we can cover more applications without a rust area on the unused portion. This will be the offering as soon as the existing rings are depleted. Rear is a true 360 vs the factory front which has a 355mm wipe.

thanks, just curious of peoples experience with em.

I bet the rotors are same weight or close to stock weight, calipers maybe the same being bigger but possibly lighter material. I got the oem size 2pc rotors from figs, stoptech lines/pads/fluid and couldn't be happier with in the braking department..

I will summarize weight when I can, Compared to stock the front setup is roughly equal. Calipers are nearly the same with the RB's being slightly heavier because they are forged and have bridge bolts. Rears increase weight due to the 4 pot being larger.

Bump for the best performing (and looking) balanced big brake kit ever built for Lexus offered by Fig. Note RB is the only brake company offers the rear BBK with drum parking brake integrity, unlike competition either they tell you that you don need it or to delete your rear parking brake.

Learn how RB rear balanced brake kit corrects Viper's too heavily biased rear brake that those track drivers had to put up with for decades

Mike, It would be helpful if you can post a picture after breaking in (let the disc shine after those protective paint were off) - as is now since installed.
