You are right, the sways fit. However, the brakes do not.

I just ordered some rotors and pads and the vendor was very particular to the following information about my car:

2008 or 2009
Made in USA or Cananda or Japan

The brakes are different on those cars and hence they asked me for my VIN to make sure they send me the right rotors.

there are no GS made in USA or canada. all made in japan. makes me wonder why they would ask you that kind of question

and 08 and 09 have the same brakes as long as rwd. my friend with 09 gs460 put on a set of rotora, which is spec'd the same for previous years gs350/430/460

Well that is all good news for me then! They did mention something about "powdercoating" between 08 and 09 models. I didn't ask too many questions! Fingers crossed I get the correct rotors.

Incidentally, would you be kind enough to refer a recommended vendor to me for BBK's please? Thanks

interesting, i didn't know if there is a difference in the finish of the rotors. the calipers on the 09 definitely doesn't look powdercoated, dunno if the rotors are.

which brand bbk are you looking for?

nigel parts they are always great vendor
