can't tell if they're 13" or 14" in the pics but the front 14" with a 6 pot caliper will go for around $3700. The racing 13" 4 pot rears are about the same price.

Won't fit a 250 I'm guessing.

I think the caliper mounting points on the 250/350 are the same. With 14" brakes, you would need to get at least 18" wheels (very few if any 17" wheels would work) with the right offset to give the calipers enough room though.

Wow.. I think I am getting a great deal.

Actually I ordered the whole package from a friend's shop in San Jose CA. The package includes wheels, tires, brakes, body kit, clear coat, window tint, clear bra, tail light redout, reflector black out, Tanabe rear, IPod & DVD mod. It is a pretty big bill to me but I think I am getting really good price on the brake.

Brake installation job will not be possible till the wheels get here, which will take a least 2 more months from now , but the rest were done.

Offset is important, but for BBK, disk is what dictates clearance clarence

That is a question to me too. I am not kidding and I don't know because I leave the decision to my friend who is working inside the shop.

The story about picking on wheels is too long, and I have stopped feeding pictures to my friend. All I know is he calls wheel manufactures in JP frequently, and the shop will import the wheels.

The bottom line is... the wheels will be the hard-to-find ones, more likely JP made, and for sure not from Volk's because he thinks that Volk's are overflowed among IS group.

GTG... time to get out from work!

what body kit are you getting?

and to the guy who said "Nice! I had those on my G. Expensive but worth every penny."

yea worth every penny if you're on the track and need the kind of heat absorption these provide. they are flashy and nothing else unless on a track

so basically you are changing your car around what he likes? *sigh* not sure how one brand can dominate a car model. maybe a specific wheel but brand? hell actually brand division. wow

I tend to agree actually... Seems like 8 out of 10 CL members that get new rims end up getting Volks on their IS... Not that there is anything wrong with that, but there is nothing wrong with wanting something different either.

That was me and I did track my G. Just knowing that I could slam the brakes as hard as I wanted (just to the point before ABS kicked in) and not worry about fade was worth the price of admission alone.

As you stated, they were very flashy also. Got more than my share of and these


What else could you ask for in a set of brakes?
