Hello RR-Racing, thanks for the respond. I would like to ask another question is that how much would it cost to install the brake and your usrs so I can have an idea of how much I should spend. Because my local shop is horrible they wanted to charge me $150 for 2 hrs of labor just to install the f sport axle back

Hi, its tough for me to say how much installation costs... I would say 1 hour of labor for the USRS, and 3 hours of labor for front and rear BBK's is reasonable.

Hi All,

We had some feedback that people preferred front and rear rotor options that would match better (we are only able to get the rear rotor in drilled configuration).

So we did a test run of a few front rotors, drilled and dimpled. We like the dimpling because it looks like drilled but is more durable. Keep in mind, when the brake dust/grit gets into the dimples, they will look like dark holes.

so was there a given answer to why slotted rotors cannot be produced? to my understanding, the front rotors are slotted and not x-drilled due to the possibility of cracking under aggressive driving. and w/ the rear rotors not taking the "pounding" as the front, they're drilled. my question is, if the fronts are made slotted, then why not make the rears slotted to begin with? why even produce the drilled rotors if the front rotors are known to be slotted?

The answer is that the rear rotors we use are 345mm rear rotors for the Lexus ISF. Stoptech rotors are only available drilled (since that is the way the ISF comes stock). I do not know of any other manufacturer that makes these rotors.

Please note a better photo of the new front and rear rotors for our IS250/350 kit. As you can see the look is very close!

thanks for the clarification about the rotors. the dimpled/slotted rotors do make the set "look" a lot better now.

hey guys very interested in this kit. Can anyone comment on how this bbk is compared to the Stock 350 fsport brakes? obviously i know its better but...
-do they give off a lot of break dust like the f-sport pads? or is it better?
-for daily driving should the wildwood street pads last me a while?
my main concern is the brake dust. my car is white and these pads kill me after washing. thanks!

The standard pads we offer with this kit is the Wilwood BP10 compound. Overall levels of brake dust are less than most OEM brake pads. We have a lot of experience with the ISF and RCF brakes, and if the OEM pads on those cars are any indication of the kind of dust you are getting, the I would say it is a safe bet the BP10's will have less brake dust for sure.
