We'll be restoring the Toyota Altezza to its original Lexus OEM condition, then look to install and dyno test various high performance Lexus IS300 modifications, walking through how-to mod installs, Lexus IS300 maintenance tutorials, and taking the car to the dyno to test horsepower and torque, and finding out how much horsepower the Lexus IS300 mods add, modifications such as an Lexus air intake, exhaust, headers / downpipe, Lexus 2JZ-GE turbo. upgrade, ecu tune, etc. Oh, and don't worry, our 2019 Honda Accord 2.0 Touring project car (10th Gen Honda Accord) and MKV Toyota GR Supra isn't going anywhere (well, not just yet)!

Hey, I know it’s been a month or so now that you’ve had these rotors. But truthfully what do you think about this brake kit? How does it perform?

[@TheLemonFactor]

So far, so good… they look good, and stop with a nice firm bite 😁👍

[@AyCasti]

I went with the r1 concepts e line drilled and slotted rotors and paired them up with Akebono performance pads. Is this also good?

[@TheLemonFactor]

Personally I’ve never used them, but trying the r1 concepts was my second choice 😁👍. Akebono makes good pads 👍

[@Michaelg1998]

Hi I had these installed and I’m getting some rubbing noise, do you think this could happen if bolts were over tightened

[@TheLemonFactor]

Is it pads rubbing against the rotor when the brake isn’t engaged?

[@TheLemonFactor]

I doubt it’s the bolts. What exactly is rubbing?
