Nope, too involved with selling and purchasing a new home right now. In fact, right now I'm homeless...but living at the in-laws. No money/time/place to even entertain mods right now.
Guys, If I may suggest, we have a new BBK for the IS & GS that is a cut above. At about $1150, I think it also makes the budget category:-)
We use top of the line, huge Wilwood Aero 6-piston calipers mated to 14" 1 piece rotors, our own CNC'd mounting brackets and hardware, and Genuine custom Goodridge stainless brake lines.
Picture below shows our kit mounted on 2013 GS350 F-sport with 20" wheels. We can even do custom colors.
We are currently completing a 4-piston 13.6" rear kit for the 3IS and GS. We already have a 4 piston kit for the 2IS.

^Definitely keeping your business and excellent products in mind. The factory BBK is right in-line with your Stg II kit pricing I think.
Thank you!
I should mention, replacement cost of rotors for our front BBK is about 1/2 the cost of the OEM F-sport rotors, in addition to the forged Aero 6 calipers being a much higher spec.

Just a quick thanks for this thread and others like it.
If also goes well I will be upgrading to a IS/GS 350 AWD brake system on my IS250.
Lots of research to find parts compatible with the AWD. I don't track my car so didn't want to spend the money for a BBK. Also seems that many BBK don't allow the E-Brake to work.
^Thanks for your post! Have any additional details about what parts you're purchasing? Specifically the part #s. Did you purchase the heat shields as well?
Take alot of pics once the parts are received AND along the way during the install! Glad someone else could foresee this being a viable solution.

Here is a teaser pic of the parts received thus far. Front calipers came already painted/coated black. Will color the rears black to match as best I can. Unfortunately one of the front calipers has some sizable gouges under the black coating. So prior to being rebuilt it must have had a rough return shipment. Fyi the calipers have a core charge.

Hate to break it to you if you though those are 4th gen GS350 f-sport calipers but they don't look like it. They look like standard 2IS/3IS IS350 and 3GS GS350 brake calipers
Or maybe you knew but i want to point this out as it may confuse people in this thread about +'13 GS350 F-sport specific front brakes

No surprise. Yes these are IS/GS 350 calipers which is an upgrade for an IS250. I will be making my own thread once I have more details to avoid this exact type of confusion. Cheers!
I always wonder..
the gs350 F sport AWD calipers are same as IS350. but what about GS350 RWD F sport calipers? are they bigger? cause i know the Rotors of RWD are 14" and AWD are 13".
