Im pretty sure 06 was the last year of the gs 300, 09 would be a gs350 which has much larger brakes then the 06

it's weird, because it is 2009, and it have the same features than the GS350 with a different engine:

ML Audio,
rear side airbags (total of 10)
VDIM/VSC cut-off
trunk closer
etc...

That's weird the 8th digit of the Vin is S which is the 3.0 v6 but from what I've found is 09 should have the 3.5 v6. If I had to guess I'd say you have the same brakes as an 06, Try looking at your caliper to determine if it's the larger 4 piston gs350 brakes or the smaller 2 piston gs300 brakes
