If so, it would make sense, seeing as how the RWD 350 F Sport has different front pads.

I thought both the IS 200t/300 RWD F Sport and the IS 350 F Sport used these same performance pads? My 2018 IS 300 F Sport RWD came with the super brake dust creating pads lol.

I don't know. Maybe all RWD cars get the different brake booster? Could use some clarification.

Actually the RC F has sport +

The GS F and the RC F also have AVS

This is the IS forum, and the posts you quoted are correct when we're talking about only the IS lineup. Let's stay on topic, please.
