Yup. Honestly, I dont see why anyone would pay 12K for some Endless brakes branded with INGS on it. Their 12 pot kit costs about the same as this kit.

I'd love to see an actual explanation of what justifies this price, as in some hard facts and info. All I've seen is some thinly veiled wannabe marketing b.s. from a reseller. Comical, really...

i don't see what is marketing bs from what i've said. i have been 100% upfront and honest. the components are not sourced from just one supplier which will drive the cost of these higher then other systems. the very idea behind the lx sport line is luxury, functionality, and exclusivity. what works in japan in terms of product placement and theory does not always work here in the US. in japan if you have the money to drive a lexus or a skyline, you have the money to buy high quality parts to set yourself apart from the others. this kit is an answer to everyone who has a bbk, which in japan is nearly everyone with this vehicle...so what do you do when everyone has the same moderately expensive bbk? you purchase a very expensive bbk to top them(that just happens to hopefully be the same brand as your aero kit and exhaust as well). this is how it works in japan, which of course we are not in right now, but that is not going to stop us from at least offering the product and making everyone aware of it.

Do you have facts to prove your aligation of these brakes being manufactuered by different companies? Because from what I can see and from my sources, those are Endless brakes branded with the LX name. I dont know anyone in their right mind, whether they have enough money to drive any kind of car, would buy a brake system that has a price tag like that when they can get the same exact system for half the price. And what makes your point valid about the fact that nearly everyone in Japan has a BBK, that sounds very doubtful. If you are talking almost every tuner in Japan has a BBK, so what? What tuner in the U.S doesnt have a BBK? Your only strategy of marketing is that these would be the same brand as a INGS body kit and exhaust which you are just trying to push and not supplying any real information. Many companies in Japan use Endless brakes and rebadge it their own and no matter what kind of income you have, its highly doubtful someone would pay that much more of a BBK just to have a different brand name than others. The LX BBK looks EXACTLY like the Endless Racing BBK, look suspiciously similar, dont you think?

i don't really understand this. if someone wants an endless kit, buy an endless kit. The Endless 6pot front 4 pot rear kit retails for $7,000.
The Ings LX Sport kit retails for $11,500, if someone wants it then they can buy it. Ings is in the early stages of their distribution of this so we'll see how it goes.

in terms of specs I only have them for the standard LX Sport brake pads that are sold

Rotor proper temperature: 0-550
Average coefficient of friction: 0.40-0.45
Material: Non asbestos
