Anything is possible if you have the money to do it, but WHY?

Carlo, above all check with your Lexus dealer. These days everything is more complicated due to the technology that's intertwined into all aspects of the vehicle. Second if you decide to go ahead let the Lexus technician perform the task IMO it's way too complicated & complex to be undertaken by a novice (I assume you are not a mechanic).

Another thing to consider is the hit you're going to take on resale value.

Since hybrid braking relies on the motor generator for the initial and most light to normal braking down to about 7 mph, it would likely be quite complicated and may not be getting you the result you want.

What part of the braking system are you looking to change and for what exactly is the reasoning?

While the GSF wont be a direct fit, it never hurts to seek each of the parts on the system and compare parts.
