You can find lots of part number and do the cross references for anything Toyota with the resources below.

The OP posted pictures of the GS350 Fsport RWD brakes in the first post of this thread.
You can see it clearly how the Rotor are 2 pieces and the caliper has different shape than the standard GS/IS350 caliper.

i know theoretically, the 4th gen GS350 RWD calipers and rotors should fit 09-13 RWD IS250, i just wish someone bit the bullet and got the whole swap and confirmed it fit without any modifications (besides trimming dustshield)

That's the whole point of this thread. They should definitely fit.

I guess it's up to someone to pull trigger and get all pieces to confirm then

Not much online about the rotor weights; but with their aluminum hats, I'm sure it's at least a couple lbs per rotor.

The 2 piece F sport rotors are a few pounds lighter (small difference) but the F sport calipers weight a ton.


We have a front and rear kit, 6 piston front, 4 piston rear, all for about $2000, and it will outperform any F sport setup. We used Forged Wilwood 6 piston Aero 6 calipers up front, and Forged Wilwood Superlite 4 piston calipers out back. Pad replacement cost is also significantly less than OEM sized F-sport pads. We also do custom colors.

^Researching picking up a used 2IS in the next few months. I assume your kit work with the OEM 2pc GS F-sport rotors. If so, would you sell just the calipers and mounts?

I would need to get dimensions off of the F-sport rotors in order to see if the offset was compatible. I need to know the thickness of the mounting bell, and the offset from the mounting bell to the outside brake surface.


That said, I don't think those rotors are worth the expense. They are certainly not lite weight @ about 22+lbs, so the weight savings is only 3-4lbs. Our calipers are much lighter than F-sport calipers (I will weigh the f-sports soon).


As a complete package you get our front 6 piston 14" BBK and rear 4 piston 13.6" BBK, all for about $2000, and we do custom colors to match.

Heads up. with these stock 13+ GS350 f-sport 2pc rotors, you can slap on 08-14 IS-F 6 pot brembo calipers to the front and they will bolt up and line up perfectly fine. no mods in hub/shims/spacer needed.
reason. 2006+ IS 350 front knuckles and the 2014+ GS 350 F-sport knuckles are the same PN. therefore, the same 2pc rotor and is-f brembo will also bolt up on the 2nd gen IS on the front without hub/shims/spacer.

I never could verify the P/N on those knuckles; so that is good to know!

I thought ISF had different hubs. I am 100% sure everyone that did an ISF BBK conversion on their 2IS had to change the hub bearing assembly, which leads me to believe the spacing and offsets are different.
