Whoa wait a minute can you elaborate please?

I never did find out if the F-sport rotors would work on the 450h

i'm guessing you can add bbk to the GS450h, but stoptech is saying no because they haven't officially tested it?

that's another possibility. that's why i would want to know their reason behind (and not only stoptech, rotora too?)

I would have thought this is a direct bolt on. I would have to agree with Stormforge that they just haven't tested on a GS450h.

Same thing with the F-Sport sways. Lexus said they would not work on my GS?? but they fit and work just fine

The battery charging is the only thing I could think of. BBK is really not needed for a Lexus sedan other than cosmetics anyway. Just paint your calipers and put lexus logos

Pics please? So it doesn't affect the hybrid powertrain at all right?
