  1. For the front: supra TT bbk with fig eng's offset nuts. I believe the stock rear 2 piston + performance slot rotors + pads should adequate to cope with this front upgrade
  2. Thanks for sharing the experience on iDrive and I totally agree. However, compare with my 1st and 2nd gen idrive experience, I much prefer Merc's Command system. Although the 3rd gen idrive may out performance command but I haven't used it. For the Merc's Command system, and compare with the touch pad on lexus when I used during the test drive. I find the same thing is that German's system is easy to use when you are driving, especially the command system, push the knob upward give you the main menu to choose and most of function can done with the turn the knob. compare with the idrive, the click fell on command make me feel easier to operate it. For the Lexus, I'd rather use steering wheel remote buttons to control the music, and trip computer, and it actually easier than the idrive, but i still prefer command's way, maybe just because i am more familiar with it. But for Lexus, while cars are moving, the small screen is much helpful than the large one. So, that's my experience so far. do you think is that because I haven't get used to the system in the short time, or that's really about this system? The other thing I find Japanese car maker one step behind the German is multi language support. As a Japanese car, it suppose support Japanese file name as I listen lots of J pop music, however, What I have found is, all German car make's system can display Japanese Hiragana and Katakana Chinese Kanji Characters, but Lexus can't, and I know Toyota and Honda can't. And even aftermarket player like alpine doesn't support Japanese. So, the German car support a language that not broadly use here and their original place, but Japanese car maker just simply doesn't support their own language, really shame on them. They just cant react quick enough for the globalization like their smart phone industry!
  3. the dark rose looks greate. did ur dealer give much discount on ur custom built? 5k extra seems to much for the ep2No, not much discount. I got $1,000 off plus free window tinting (told me it was worth $600) and free servicing for 4 years. wow, thats really not much and asking 5000 on ep2 and with 2014 built car i consider its rip off..... they must sell rc well at least i got this ppint

  5. Should be the 1st rc in the forum, congrats! :D
  6. Thank you~ do you have a gxe or sxe? either way, we can interchange all the suspension and brake part.,except struct bar. lol :D
  7. Hi everyone, I believe when you guys see my car in my info will curious why a toyota guy reg here, as jzx platform has not much connection with lexus. But, for one exception, JZX110, which is basically, share all the underpin with XE10. they have the same suspension arms and links, shocks, spring, and even identical brakes. I discover this after I own the car, struggling to find parts(oem and performance), suddenly, everything become easier. Engine and drivetrain refer to chaser JZX100, much popular here than 110, and all the handling just give me lots of choices, as the XE10 not a JDM, but worldwide model. After talk about my connection with lexus, the other reason i reg here is I am about to shop a new RC. and then can share more about toyota and lexus. Just attach some pic for my JZX110. Very few and mild mod re power. :) Hope you guys enjoy the story.
  8. Hi, Could you please tell me when did your friends buy the cars? Was they buying MY14 model when MY15 up the shelf or no where near MY15 been put onto the market? Just plan to shop a RC mid next year, and wanna do some research on the price, never shopped luxury segment before, but now seems they are the same price wise as mainstream brands, as your friends managed 9k discount for the deal. Thought they are more difficult to deal re the price. Regards
