Of course - new hubs and discs will require a bracket. That's why I was making my guess contingent on the assumption that the brake components were caregivers from the previous model. I'm not too familiar with all the new trim levels for the 4GS - aren't there different/upgraded discs and calipers on one the models? Does the base GS350 still come with the old IS350/GS350 brakes?

The Base GS350 only reuses the same caliper...

However, both the Base GS350 & F-Sport now use 2 piece disc rotors up front..
The F-Sport RWD does get a slightly larger caliper & disc combo up front only.



Base GS350 - (2 piece disc hidden)



GS350 F-Sport (RWD ONLY)

Theoretically, this StopTech BBK shown in post# 1, should work on any of the New GS350 (RWD) applications..

I'm still waiting to see this kit on "mrpartsman" GS already...

Thanks for the update..!!!

The Jig fabrication is in process.. We recently took on a few new accounts, so "our stuff" has sort of taken a longer bench time then I would have wanted..

I hope to have a lead time for the first run, nailed down this weekend.. But it might be September for completed production units..
