For the past several weeks I've been searching for an "excellent" brake kit at a decent price designed specifically for my Lexus to accomodate the TT setup. Here is what I came up with. Keep in mind that these kits are NOT universal kits. They were designed and tested specifically on Lexus vehicles along with each respective series.

There are 3 different kits and are all made by Stoptech and rebranded by prolexperformance. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this Stoptech....Stoptech's 4 piston caliper kit was recently compared to several other big time manuffacturers such as Brembo (recent Car and Driver issue). Stoptech's 4 piston kit clearly outperformed its rival Brembo 4 piston kit and even edged (is some tests) the 6 piston Brembo 14" kit.

This is not a group buy becaue it has not been officially approved by Static911. I would like to see how many would be interested given a 20% off CL discount.

Here are some pics.

Will the 4 piston.. st04.. clear the 17" L-Tuned Wheel? L-Tuned Wheel is the OZ wheel..

I been trying to find a quality 4 piston caliper that will fit the L-Tuned wheel..

you mean 20% on TOP of the price shown??

also, this might sound stupid, but if you say the 4 piston setup (the 13" setup) will clear the stock 17" wheels, it WILL clear on the 19" volkracing av3 right??

last of all, what is actually the size of the stock front rotors?!

Wow! Very nice rotors. I want some. Nice @as calipers too!

I'm not sure since I am not selling these kits yet. Your best bet would be to obtain a fitment chart either from Prolexperformance.com or better yet stoptech.com.

No, I mean OFF the price shown.

I am not saying anything about fitment. I copy and pasted the info from the repective sites. The fitment is always the biggest issue, so contact the companies and request a template or something similar to check. There are 100's of wheels out there and I would double check, better yet, triple check before I would buy any kit for my car (so that it actually fits).

From the top of my head it's something like.... I will find out for sure tomorrow..

Front disc diameter 11.6 "
Rear disc diameter 12.0 "

M, What are the pieces shown down the center of the pic???
They really look like fitting brackets(similar to ones Ive seen for the Skyline/300zx retro fit), but that cant be the case if these are made specific for LEXUS right?????? Tiny

rominl,

becareful because i have 19" volks and i can not get a brake upgrade. its all btou the offest.. not the size of the rim.. well to a certain extent obviously. but check your offset to make sure it will fit. i purchased a +39 because i never though i would get a brake upgrade.. so i had to settle with pads rotors and ss lines .

Shinchan

tmasta.. there is a good chance that the first kit will fit. Check the Stoptech website for fitment information. I think if it fit into the stock 17" rim.. it will fit into most of the rim. com'on... there is not much clearance in the stock 17".

tmasta

Shinchan , on the mackin industries web site they said that i dont have the high disc fitment!! i was sooo mad that i didnt know a lot about all that crap when i bought the rims.. but i did purchase some endless products and at first i was like.. hmm DID it really make a difference. then i drove my friends gs with stock brakes and i noticed a difference so now im happy

tinygs, I'm not sure. The rep told me the brakes were specifically designed for Lexus. So, take it for what it's worth. Best bet would be to call them and ask them yourself.
