Prices for the kits seem pretty reasonable for fronts...

I've seen this GS with D2Sport Front and Rear BBK. Not sure how the quality or performance is though.

is the LS a BBK......? no its not and this thread is about REAL BBK's not to mention there is no upgrade to using the LS rear setup?

a lot of us have a real BBK up front but we want a matching rear and its damn near impossible to find if you use stoptechs. im not a fan of D2, futura,rotora, or a few other companies... im not saying they wont work as most of us use them for aesthetics anyways but i want a matching kit and since i already have a stoptech front i wanna match that

I have rotora BBK in the front and I love it. I guess I don't have another bbk to compare it to but it does feel like a night and day difference between the bbk and oem brakes. I've been told that it could also be because of the ss lines. Either way the pedal feel is very sensitive (the way i like it) and braking overall just feels much better. I have more confidence to brake hard into turns now compared to oem. Also they look great. I also have a rear rotora BBK, but I havent installed them yet. Been sitting in my closet for a few years now. Maybe i'll do it soon.
Also I've heard that maybe they wouldnt be balanced correctly, but i have spoken to Technicians at Rotora on a few occasions (they are local to me) and they have said that there will not be a balance issue for the combo.

I think Jeff was running rotoras on his car for a while as well. Not saying they're the best but they definitely aren't garbage. Any locals wanna ride in my car, just ask....

Yup! Seen it a few times in person. Lots of hard work put in that car.

Bulletproof Automotive list a Endless Rear BBK for a Lexus GS300/430 (JZS160/161)

For a low price of $4280.00 But no info found on EndlessUSA's site.

What's the reason for not being a fan of Futura? You know the use the same supplier as 326 Power and also Stoptech uses a one of their old suppliers.

Just a fact to throw out there...

Brian,
tried to help you on the StopTech info, but we could barely get support from them to sell more 4 corner BBK after they released that first 4 corner set to my buddy way back when.



After waiting for 2 years, my next best recourse was to go with AP Racing since the Supra TT is bolt on in front and the rear rotors, and calipers are fine once I fabricated the custom brackets.

I can still go back to have duplicate brackets made in case anyone wants to try my set up.
