Default Will IS-F calipers fit a 3GS?

does anyone know if IS-F calipers will fit on a 3GS?

I am not too concerned about wheel clearance because I know I would have to change the stock wheels (Im assuming since IS-F wheels are 19s). but will they actually mount up and function?

Does the F-Sport BBK work on the GS460?

please let me know, thanks!

I dont see why not. I believe a few have done this on the IS and the BBK is the same. You will probably need to trim your dust shield to allow the rotors and caliper to fit (would need this on aftermarket also)...

Any reason you dont want to go aftermarket?

Not really from what I have seen them listed for on here.

You can also look at FSport BBK upgrade. Check out Sewell Lexus, a vendor, and see if that helps. I think you can find a cheaper set of used aftermarket BBK if that is what your looking for. Check the ISx50 section to see if anyone is selling.

Is that a 460 though?

Because on the site it says it doesn't work, but it says the same about the sway bar and that's works with the 460

the brakes are the same from the GS350 and GS460. Only the GS300 had smaller front brakes.

Awesome, thanks bro!! I hope you are right for sure. I don't wanna purchase them and get stuck lol. I am also going to check to see if the part numbers for the brakes are the same for both GS models. If you have any other info, please shoot it my way, Passnu2!

I dont have the part #'s handy but I can tell you they are the same The IS350, GS350, GS430, & GS460 all share the same BBK set up. Most of the Suspension parts are the same also as I did further research on this myself.

You can Pm Darrel @ Sewell for the parts and he can help you order the parts with our discount. Darrel is who helped me as I cross referenced many of these items and will be a great source of help for your BBK upgrade.

The IS-F brakes wouldn't be much different from the stock GS460 Brakes, Anyone who changes there stock brake setup are just ridiculos as they are very large already.


Quick Reply: Will IS-F calipers fit a 3GS?
