not sure if the "puny" brakes actually affect everyday performance to a noticeable degree. Although the bigger brakes do look better and are easier to maintain.

Still, the website is probably wrong. They've made mistakes like this in the past as well. The IS hasn't had 2-piston front calipers since the IS300 in 2005, but they kept listing it that way for the IS250 for a long time.

(高摩擦ブレーキパッド*2付)
"Brakes front: oncoming 4-pod Caliper・φ334mm spiral fin. bench press disk

And
リ ヤ:φ310mmベンチレーテッドディスク
"Rear: φ310mm bench press disk"
