Aaaaah, look who made it in here! Congrats again my fellow Brembo aficionado - car looks great bro!

lol.. thanks bro. i always knew i was going to get Brembos when i first bought my car, its just the point of finding the right setup. Im picky about everything, and i know i got everything perfect on the car now. Photoshoot me and you Javy, and hopefully with NOZ..

 

^Hell yeah, I'm already starting to plan this photo shoot out!

Javier

 

LOL always a step ahead i see!! lolz^^ thats awesome, just let me know a head of them

 

sooo.... i might be joining this tread soon... but i have a few questions....

the stock is-f brembos.... why are the rears so small if they are 4 pot? herd the rotors arent 2 piece? and they are smaller then the regular brembo 6pot?

 

The rear is so small because, it gives the brake system proper break bias.

Basically, it lets the front brakes do all the heavy work...

 

Small as compared to what? The OEM IS-F rear calipers are not small, although they are 2-piston, not 4-piston calipers... No the rotors aren't 2 piece (on the IS-F) - they're a one piece cross drilled cast iron design. The IS-F front calipers are roughly the same size as the Brembo GT ("regular Brembo 6pot" as you refer to them).

Oh i c, so you're getting the F-brembos huh what color and how much bro?

 

oh ok... so it is a 2pot rear i dont know why people keep telling me its a 4pot...
can i change the rotors to a 2 piece?

no mr. phil i'm just thinking ahead and looking at my options...
like... if i want phil style lips but not run aggressive then is-f brembos be a good idea...
or if i was to part out, how fast and how much would i have to sell my brembos, in order to sell them? not everyone is willing to pay XXXX(used or new) even if they are brembos... also i'm not a loser like you that can get 6 & 6 hahah

oh... and they are going to be yellow...

i gotta figure out what i want to do... its a week in already, i dont want to tell them to late(wheels)

 

This is just a shot in the dark, but doesn't the ISF rear need to be 1 piece in order to support the E-brake?

 

Yeah, but it's gonna cost you about $1500 just for discs...

I may be missing something, but 6 & 6 what? Phil has the Brembo GT kit for the IS350 - 6 pot front, 4 pot rear...

No. The shape of the mounting bell on the Brembo 2-piece discs maintains the e-brake functionality on both the IS350 and IS-F.

I have a set of IS-F 6 POT BBK's for sale

 

phil... can you remind me one more time, i know you've told me a ton of times in person and on line, but maybe i'm hearing wrong... they are a 6pot front 6 pot rear correct?

rob... i'd need the whole set if i buy the is-f brembos... lmk brotha

 

Back from the dead!

 

Andy, we need better shots than that - can't wait to see the car!
