My car is going into the dealers next week for a full paint job from Mica Red to F-Sport Blue.
i would definitely go back and ask them what about the brakes that don't fit on gs460. as far as i know gs350 (rwd) and 460 shares all the same brake component, at least here in the US. if there is any different i would definitely want to know which part

i don't see why the exhaust won't fit on the 460. it's the same rear section. it's not like you get a full blown exhaust from headers

lol, if you ask me, fsport department by itself and also dealerships are all so not well trained about these parts, applications, and testing

that's why a lot of times i will have to go the extra mile to find out the true manufacturer behind the scene to understand more. and also have to follow a lot of the real owners to see what the issues are and parts performance.

seriously i found forums like these to be a lot more informative.

I agree...

Rider: The brake rotors on our 460's are larger than the 430's and 300's.

Rider: Do you plan on tracking your car? With that kind of money, you can buy alot of goodies for your GS460

Romini: Dealer here has confirmed brakes on GS460 are larger than GS430.
