I believe the GS300 has the same rear rotors as the 2007 GS350 here is the link for but someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Guys i got a question.. I heard i need my front and rear brake lines to be bleeded, even though im only changing the whole front brake set (and rear pads, not brakes). How much brake fluid do i need to get?

Someone here flushed out the whole system with brand new fluid, and he only needed 3 bottles. I got me 3 bottles waiting on my bleeder system to come in.

Im planning to get it done by my friend who has a cycle shop, but he knows how to work on cars too. Is there any specifics I should tell him before the install?

I probably will not do the install for atleast another 2 weeks. This winter is terrible, we are on pace to break the record for snowfall. If i do get these installed this winter, the car will probably stay inside the garage and i will continue to use the beater car (98 gold camry). not sexy at all

Did you trade in your gs300 for a new gs450h? or did you trade it for a used one? Regardless congrats.
