Thanks, will the lines on the 300 work or will i need new lines too... I know I will need the following but just not sure about lines...

GS430 or GS350 Calipers (2)
GS430 or GS350 Rotors (2)
GS430 or GS350 Pads and Shims

At least this brake project will be cheaper than my 993tt brake upgrade on my M3...

Can someone give me specific part numbers... Trying to put a list of parts to order from Seawell's and just want to make sure I get the correct items, the first time...

Thanks

i could be wrong but i would say they dont since the 300 has the smaller of all the brakes on a 3GS

I was actually looking for part numbers for the 430/350 calipers and rotors and compare them to the part numbers that Seawells sells in their is350 kit...

yea the 350/430 GS calipers are the same as the IS350 calipers i know for a fact. The design of the caliper for the GS350 has an opening on the top almost like you can remove the pads w/o removing the caliper (not sure) and i know the 300 is not like that because i did my brakes about a month ago.

Agreed, the 350 and 430 share the same brake calipers. However, the 300 and 460 do not!

Has anyone tried to upgrade their 06' GS300 with GS350/430 calipers?

This is what I am trying to do. I plan on getting the kit below minus the dust shields and bolt them up. I was told that they will bolt right up and even use the same brake lines and will just have to trim the dust shield.

Whoa, that's a good price! I thought that was for 1 caliper at first, but for all that hardware plus the calipers that's a awesome price. All you need to buy is the rotors.

I guess one way to see if it will bolt up is to compare the knuckle assy part# from a GS350/GS430 and from a GS300 to see if they are the same.

good price? thats crazy high. you can get calipers for about 150-200 for a pair and front brakes are like 70 bucks.

username32

Where can you find new caliper for that price of 150-200 you say? I assume that is what you're implying on right? If you're talking about used of course it can be had cheap but that's not a fair comparison. If you think that's high for brand new 4 pot calipers you have not worked for Nissan/Infiniti where even a single pot Altima sliding caliper cost more then that.
