How about the calipers?

Funny how the IS such a lighter car would have the same size rotors etc. I would have thought otherwise.

caliper design is the same, but the GS and IS have different mounting points, so the IS and GS calipers are not interchangeable.

The IS BBK for the fronts will not fit, unless you modify the brackets. However, the IS rear brake calipers and rotors are the same as the 2ndGenGS
