I believe thats what a lot of people use as an alternative for the early 250 awds. The gs350 has the same size diameter rotor as the is350 but also has the AWD rotor depth needed

So if I'm understanding correctly; I have a 2009 IS250 RWD. If I want to upgrade to the IS350 brakes I will need:
350 rotors
350 calipers
Shims
Dust shield
And I also believe everything with fit nicely with OEM 17" tires. If im wrong may I please get corrected.
Thank you

You really only have to shave the side opposite of the caliper and leave the top and bottom. If you are a stickler of aesthetics, then yes buy the dust shields.
