The 350 Calipers are way bigger than the 250 ones.

You're going to need to upgrade the rotors too

I have 2011 is250 f-sport and according to

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...est/specs.html

60-0 is 115' and that respectable. Will the is350 do that much better?
I'll google it now lol
If its that much better I'll consider it.

Its not super expensive. I did mine for maybe 500 or so. I got my calipers for cheap from aligia since i picked them up and hes local to me. I did it with out getting the 350 dush shields cuz i just modified the current 250's

What you will get from upgrading to the IS350 brakes is repeatability and less brake fade. A single 60-0 stop time will likely be identical between the two as that will mostly come down to the tires not the brakes.

Do it 10 times in a row and you'll see a difference.

^^Agreed. you don't see braking difference until they start to warm up. Day to day driving feels no different than stock 250. I did mine though because i plan on doing a few track days
