Brakepads have about 70% life left, I checked this with my mechanic. Everything's in perfect shape, pm me if interested. They have been painted black already, so all you need is to apply some lexus stickers to complete the look if you like.

asking $450 + paypal fees + shipping.

PM me if you are interested.


gs430 and gs350 have the same setup, the 06 gs300 can use them. odd your is250 could not, as the gs300 and is250 have the same setup. maybe your wheels dont clear the bbk

well this was originally purchased from a member here with a GS 430 that upgraded to BBK. We both thought it's the exact same as the IS350 setup since it looked identical. My front wheels are set to clear BBK, I specifically asked Work wheels for the big caliper disk setup for my front wheels.

I took it to the mechanic to get it installed, but the rotor won't fit my IS, he's not able to put it on, it just won't fit. Unless there's something he's doing wrong, i dont' think this will fit the IS. Although, i really wanted to put this on the car.

I will post pics soon. The calipers are professionally painted by the mechanic too since he has a body shop as well.

did you ask him what "doesn't fit" about the rotor? did he cut away the dust shield? if he didn't do that then for sure it won't fit. and your car is not awd right?

the inner hub (opening) won't fit, i saw it cause he was showing me. The dust pan i know, because he told me that in the first place. And i have an AWD, but that shouldn't matter, as another member was able to fit the IS350 set up on his; so if it is the same, then she should fit also for me.

actually, awd would be the problem. awd (both gs and is) have a different hub design, their rotors are completely different from the ones for rwd setup.

at least that's my understanding. some people already tried to fit rwd rotors on their awd gs, no go at all

anyway, just trying to help. glws

^ thanks for your help. actually that's what I thought originally too, but ExclusivIS had an AWD before and fitted the IS350 brake on his AWD without any problems.

Any GS owners want to pick it up? nice upgrade though, too bad I couldn't put it on my car.

Default Hmmmm...

What is so different with this setup from my factory on a 2006 gs300? Are the Calipers larger?

^ Thanks rominl

06MiCa, yes, I believe these are much bigger than the GS300 calipers, you can call them a "BBK" upgrade

to a great buyer/seller. You have my vouch.

These should have fit and checking with the Lexus dealer they also indicated the GS and IS share the same BBK. If you have AWD check first to make sure. I am surprised they wont work either.

On a side note since its just the rotor that wont fit can you get new rotors? and still use the calipers? Maybe this is the solution to this so you can use them. Rotora sells rotors and I am sure a few others will sell just the rotor and may be worth a try?
