Did you have to do any re-drilling though?

I don't think the US spec ones are as lucky. I did not go as far as bolting though, just some measuring. I am hoping I am wrong.

I think rominl told me over MSN that he did put the IS300 pedals on his GS and everything bolts right on. He just took them out again because he felt they were too sporty.... you should ask him if he had to do anything different from me....

I doubt it.

He and RMMGS4 tried the brake pedal. RMMGS4 had my gas pedal for awhile and did nothave time to play with it. His assessment was that it is not a bolt on deal. I got the pedal back and did some quick measurements of the bolt spacing and pedal location and they did not seem to match up well.

If you are talking about that one night where you and RMMGS4 played with it, it was the auto brake cover that was a direct swap. INDGOGRL has an auto so I assume it was her cover that you were using.

Yup that's right. We borrowed off of the wifeys IS to do the test fitting.

Basically the automatic tranny brake pedals will fit no problem. We can use the IS clutch pedal for the parking brake with a few mods.

The big problem is the gas pedal.

If I only had the time I would get this done, but you guys know I have several BIG projects underway right now and no time for the little stuff like this.

Too many mods so little time.
