Default Project Mu pads correct part number?

Thinking about trying some NS-C pads on my 2016 IS200t F Sport. Looks like there are different pads for different F sport and non F sport models, but I thought the pads were the same. Can anyone confirm that these will work?

Here's the motherlode of Project MU / Lexus:

Brake pad list for LEXUS (project-mu.co.jp)

I'd give the vendor a call as well to confirm before you buy.

Dimensionally the pads are the same for the F Sport and non-F Sport IS200t...which is the same for the 300 (V6 or 4 cyl. Turbo) and the 350.
For OEM pad purposes the compound of the brake material is different, so technically the pads are different.
Realistically you can swap the F Sport pads for the non-F Sport pads, and vice versa.
The compound performance will differ as the F Sport pads have more bite and produce more dust, the non-F Sport pads would be the opposite, not as much initial bite and less dust.

As for the Project MU pads, the same front and rear pads will fit the IS200t/300/350 regardless of F Sport or not, and AWD or RWD...they are offering one pad compound for the vehicle, regardless of trim level for the vehicle.
