TK Chan Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Last month I have the IS250 front brake unit changed to the bigger one used in the IS350. It fits with no modification and is a direct bolt on job. Very subtle change in appearance unless directly compared. Braking power is much improved but no adrupt jerking and is actually smoother than the original unit. Here are some pictures: The four port caliper The original 298mm disc on the left, the new 330mm disc on the right The new brake unit in place The original brake unit behind the wheel The new brake unit behind the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagnobito Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 They look nice, but I had better not try to fit them on my car in case I break something else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may go for the exhaust pipes as my next modification but that is not urgent at all :worried_anim: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may go for the exhaust pipes as my next modification but that is not urgent at all . I fitted Tango's flutes. They looked and sounded..........Superb :worried_anim: An absolute mod must for the 250!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 After Mark's advice NOT to get EBC discs for my IS250, I carried a rather heavy suitcase back from Texas yesterday (well BA carried it most of the way ) with a couple of OEM IS350 front discs, backplates/dust guards and a full set of stainless steel braided teflon flexible brakelines for both front and rear. Already have the 350 calipers and the new ceramic padsets & shims from an earlier trip. Wanna do a pictorial fitment Tony?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
