Default GS350 Calipers compatible with GS300?

Been searching on this topic with no luck for a couple of days now. I am interested in upgrading my calipers to the GS350's.

Is it possible?

Yes it is very possible, but you will need gs350 calipers, rotors and brakes.

Depending on what rims you are running, you may run into clearance issues as well.

Don't forget the dust shield too or you can cut the old one to fit the 350's rotor

I have an extra set of the GS350 fronts if you need. Rock auto is taking forever.
I just hit the local junk yard recently.

You can buy a used set of calipers from your local junkyard. Just search www.car-parts.com this will search the parts that you need and closes to you. Maybe you can even work a deal to buy the whole hub with all the pieces needed, instead of cutting parts.

That's a good idea as well. Get shields and everything, one stop shop.
