What are you hoping to accomplish?

Larger brakes, assuming you're not racing on a track, are strictly cosmetic modifications.

Also worth considering- Porsche replacement rotors and pads are likely pricey.

Well, you still ought be able to find someone to ship IS350 brakes over to you, no? That would look cosmetically better than the 250 brakes, and not cost an arm and a leg for replacement rotors/pads compared to Porsche parts.

IS250 is 11.6" vented 2-piston front brakes and 11.4" solid rear.

IS350 is 13.1" vented 4-piston front brakes and 12.2" vented rear.

Might have some luck posting here-

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is2...assifieds-173/

stating you're looking for stock 350 brakes...

Probably find someone who did a BBK upgrade willing to sell you their removed stuff and ship it

Alternatively touch base with Sewell Lexus, they'd probably ship overseas, and even the new parts would be a lot cheaper than the F-sport upgrade
