    Now that I've driven a bit on them, and the pads are bedded in, I can confidently say this kit is finished and ready for others!

    Uses any RWD non-sport package Lexus LS460, LS600h, or LS500 (yes even 2020+) 4 piston calipers (K17 casting), and the Lexus IS-F rotors.

    Parts are all inexpensive and readily available. I rebuilt mine after powdercoating for good measure.

    18s are needed, though sadly RPF1s do not fit. Factory X-Runner wheels also fit.

    Fits any 2nd gen 5 lug setup. Working on a 6 lug solution in the future as well. Will likely be able to use 17" wheels with the 6 lug version. Who do I need to talk to about becoming a vendor here?

    Are you planning to leave them yellow?

    That's something I did on purpose. Had them powdercoated first and I rebuilt them before installation

    Blue and yellow are definitely my colors. Very happy with them. Plus, Porsche loves to use yellow, so...?

    I too dig the non standard caliper colors. Running black on my truck, but if I had something sportier I would consider something more vibrant.

    Front grill/front bumper lip/ odometer led’s.
    Do we need a bracket for the caliper, or it is plug and play?

    Love the truck.

    What about mounting hardware?
    I’m currently heavily looking for a great kit and been looking at yours for a while as it matches my needs. I’m new to the X-runner world but I’m loving so far.
    I even tried to order from your site but it was down for some reasons.
    I just need the huge calipers up front instead of these little baby claws.
    Any info will be appreciated. Thank you!

    Doubtful he'll reply, since he hasn't been on since 2021.

    However, there is a kit from https://sosperformance.com/

    Aside from the SOS kit mentioned above you can also just order brackets for this exact setup from https://www.strictly-street.com/

    I’m considering sourcing from sos primarily because they offer different rotor options, and color calipers. It’s cheaper from urd but no options. Strictly street, I've heard no good news, just bad experiences. So I’m not up for that.

    I prefer the Strictly Street bracket way of doing it as then I can source my own calipers and rotors. I ordered my Viking front coil overs from them no problem, but that and a couple emails are the only interaction I had with them.

    I had hoped to get some info, no replies. A search only brings up some negative comments.

    You would probably get more responses in the 'street truck' section of the forum since those are the guys who would be using their products.
