Gang: I haven't been able to get these installed because one of the drilled holes in one of the rotors cracked upon torquing the bolt to secure the hat onto the rotor. I just got the replacement rotor in, the one that cracked was a freak..it had a mild factory defect in the rotor. That is very rare for them and they replaced it free of charge 
BBK's going on today...Pics to accompany.

OK, Gang...We got the front BBK's installed, but did not have time to complete the rears, so that will be done tomorrow, and we will bleed the brakes at that time. I gotta tell you, these guys at Revolution Brakes (formerly Precision Brakes) make a quality kit. Everything was machined extremely precisely, and abviously, the Willwood calipers are awesome, and extremely lightlweight...
Even the SS braided brake lines were made precisely...The ends were made exactly to fit into the Lexus mounting bracket and be held in place by the stock C clip, and the larger rectangular mounting clip. The fit was spot on exact... I was extremely pleased. Thw center rings that they machined to extend the hub center were also spot on perfect...
From brackets to bolts to washers to calipers to hats to rotors, this kit was well thought out and engineered to work on my car, and provide increased braking capability utilizing the stock master cylinder...
Here are a few pics...
