for sure my beloved gs400 is getting a new home
06+ gs350/gs430 brakes on 2gs
Sorry i havent been able to confirm this or not.. but they do appear to be similar to the LS430 design accept for one major point; on the LS430 calipers, the brake bolts that attatch the caliper to the hub are parallel with the car, while on the newer caliper design (GS350), the bolts are in the traditional location. I just need some time to do measurements and possibly even a test fit if i can our parts dept to order me a caliper. I wont be back to work until next friday, however, i have training in SoCal.

the caliper is not the problem, the attachment and brackets are the keys. the is300 and gs400/sc400/sc430 calipers look the same, but is300 brakes won't fit on others
The GS350/430 caliper is a one piece caliper like the supra's, so there is no bracket like on our factory 2GS brakes. I will do some more research when i get back and see if the mounting holes on the 3GS brakes lines up with the 2GS spindle. Im guessing they wont, but i will check it out.

thanks!
about 600bucks just for brackets! ...then again, Nightpager makes really high quality products from what I have heard. Also, it only says "Lexus brakes" and doesn't specify if it's from a IS/GS/LS.

I think you should get another GS, you know you want to!
No prob Henry, I would assume it's not a direct bolt on like the Supra ones but all it says is that it uses "Lexus" ones...are the IS/GS/LS ones different (I hope they are considering the difference in size)?

oh?! that's interesting, so it's for 3gs300 without the big brakes? all new 3gs have big brakes now, gs460 has larger rotors.
oh well, guess 2gs and 3gs brakes aren't really that freiendly to each other
