does anyone know the caliper dimentions for the ISF brakes. Im trying to switch out my OEM 07 GS350 calipers to ISF calipers, but I need to make sure the new calipers will clear my rims. or what offset will work with these calipers?


Thanks in advance!!

The IS-F hub assembly has a different offset than the 350. One does not just swap calipers Assuming you already have said calipers or are you looking to purchase them?

AIMCO can be had for under $100 a rear rotor. Not bad for genuine Brembo parts...
Did you ever purchase the Aimco or Raybestos equivilent?

Looking for set up for front pads and rotors. Thinking about 2 piece setup. Looks like there are only 2 set ups for our cars RRracing and Figs. Not sure which pads (low dust and lowest noise) would go with either setup for 20k+ daily driving and about 2 track sessions a year. After reading all 24 pages it looks like it is a good practice to swap for racing pads (which I need recommendation as well) for track day use. Also appears that RAYBESTOS are the exact match for OEM Brembos. Not sure if I even need 2 piece since mostly a DD car. Please provide input. Really overwhelmed.

You will feel the loss of rotating mass from 2pc rotors. Depending on the quality of the hat and ring, the ring might last quite some time and the hat generally doesn't need to replaced unless damaged (from what I know about them, could be wrong). It just depends on if you think it's worth ~$1000 initial and ~$700 for front ring replacements as needed. I had 2pc aftermarket rotors on my last car...it was cool, but completely unnecessary for my use.

Quick question fella's. I just picked up a 09 with 32k on the dial. After a visual inspection on the brakes the fronts are getting pretty low on the pads. The back are fine. How do you know if the rotors need to be replaced?

^^^^Minimum thickness of the front rotors is 28mm. Max on the stockers was 30mm. Some aftermarket rotors are a bit thicker.

Thanks man. Just measured the fronts. Sitting at 29.18. Not bad for 32k miles. Any pads you would recommend for the front?

There are so many options. It truly comes down to what you plan on doing with the vehicle.. Track, city, a little of both. And how much you care about brake dust on your wheels..

We have all sorts of different options depending on how you drive your car and what you prioritize in a brake pad

Yes that exactly. The hub is pricey, depending on spec it can run up to $750 per. We have a more affordable kit for the IS350 for a 6pot setup/360mm that would be more economical and perform better. Do you already have the calipers?

Can anyone recommend a pad that is extremely low dust? These would not be track pads obviously, just something for light street use.

Definitely reach out to speed freaks. They can walk you through all the options. Project mu ns400 is the gold standard as far as super low dust without losing much performance if any.. But there are other ceramic options that could work..
