The guys over at Performance Friction have a new Z-Rated Brake upgrade kit for the IS-F. I will be check this out next week at SEMA and letting everyone know what I find out.

Here is a copy of their press release along with a photo.

Performance Friction Brakes premium Z-Rated Brake Upgrade Kits are custom

engineered for performance aftermarket and track day street vehicles. Capitalizing on its

championship-winning racing brake technology in rotors, calipers, and brake pads, the

company has now applied its dominating racing braking expertise to the street and track

day enthusiast.

Unmatched braking ability, pedal feel and modulation, and durability once only available

to winning racing teams and drivers, are now available for performance enthusiasts --

without upsetting the stock chassis balance, ABS, and emergency brake activation of

their car.

Z-Rated Brake Upgrade Kits are made in the U.S.A. and include these genuine racing

components and technology:

- Forged aluminum monobloc brake calipers that are precision CNC-machined – a

monobloc design reduces any caliper deflection, maintains superior caliper alignment

with the rotor under braking, and improves pedal feel over two-piece calipers.

- Aerospace-grade radial mounting of the caliper – this mounting also reduces caliper

deflection so pads make uniform contact with the rotor, produce less heat than a typical

stock chassis “pin-slider” caliper, and yield improved torque application to the rotor.

- 4-piston, 4-pad calipers – PFC’s short aspect ratio 4-piston design yields a stiffer caliper body;

reduces drag and temperature, and improves release and control over 6-piston designs. Less

unsprung weight per corner and more uniform pad wear are also benefits.

- Z-rated Carbon Metallic ™ premium brake pads – these are included with specially

formulated friction compounds for each vehicle chassis to ensure maximum braking

efficiency and balance during street and extreme use.

- Two-piece, full-floating Direct Drive ™ V2 rotors – rotors eliminate vibration and pulsation;

reduce drag to increase fuel mileage and improve pad wear; reduce piston knock-back; and lower

heat transfer to the hub. The reusable hat assembly reduces lifetime costs.

Z-Rated Brake Upgrade Kits are custom-developed for their chassis – one brake caliper

or rotor or brake pad does not apply across multiple chassis. Overall braking capability

improves with these specialized kits, and stock ABS and electronic chassis control are

not compromised.

Z-Rated Brake Upgrade Kits are a Prosumer level of braking capability and technology

ready for street performance enthusiasts who also track their vehicles.

Now that's a nice looking set of brakes! Very nice. I love the look and feel of forge aluminum calipers.
