Does the 400 have bigger brakes than 300?

Default Does the 400 have bigger brakes than 300?

I'm in the process of custom ordering some Works right now and production has stopped bc JAPAN IS STILL OUT ON THE A-DISK FOR ANOTHER 2-3 WEEKS (who knows it could be longer). Anyways, this is for my front wheels and I'm rocking stock brakes. So I requested O disk (same match as the rear) plus il get more lip! Then my seller says the 300 and 400 have different brakes so it wont fit.

Is this right? I thought 300 and 400's have same brake setups?

Btw specs are:
19x9.5/10.5 +22

Or would you do a more aggressive offset in the front like +12-21??

Megan coils. 225/35 and 265/30 chilling in the garage waiting to be mounted. Fronts are rolled, rears shaved. Thanks alot guys!!

Here's a lil pic...what a difference some rims make on the gs...

Looked the same to me. Since you're ordering new wheels. You should get 19x11s in the rear. You'll be happier with that with the 265/30s

AFAIK the GS 300, 400 & 430 all share the same brake setup.

shoot for +15 all around. your fenders will acomadate this when the car is tucking some tire and +1 on the 11" rear idea, the 265 will fit and stretch WAY better and i ran "O" disc all around and loved it!

Thanks for the info bro. I've already messaged my seller to go O disk and +15 all around. The T1S doesn't go up 11" in a 19" w/step lip or I would. Btw, thanks again for selling me that black chrome emblem, it's holding up well
