IS350 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 For anybody interested, the last week or so I've been in the process of fitting brembos to the front of my 3IS, With a little mucking around with different rotors etc. Here is what will hopefully be the end result. Just need to bolt on brake lines, possibly take a little meat off my spacers and give them a bleed. I've used a slightly thicker rotor than factory.

bazzle Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 What is the rotor off? I have rotors that look the same but are standard is350 (2011) size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used a larger width rotor in comparison to the ISF not the IS350, the rotors is a 355 mm rotor, I've had it up and running now, seems great finished about 30 minutes ago. Wish I could have offset the caliper another half a mm in but it could possibly be something else I will sort down the track, realistically it shouldn't be a problem in terms of pad wear etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_ISF Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 They look good on the car. No issues with the master cylinder size when matched to the 6 piston calipers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IS350 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Master seems OK, The capacity in theory isn't a great deal larger considering the factory calipers. Even stopping power wouldn't be overly better, larger surface area for heat dissipation on the other hand... I only fit them due to getting them for a really good price.

ilv1004s Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) what car are the brembos off? or is it a aftermarket kit physically the MBC wouldnt be a problem but it will be softer feel than a factory brembo equipped car IE RCF/GSF/ISF which in means more pedal travel Edited March 28, 2019 by ilv1004s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IS350 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hey mate, They are ISF brembos. I agree, pedal feel is factory, a little firmer would be ideal but beggars cannot be choosers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
