Default Brake Calipers

Hi All,
I recently purchased a 2018 Lexus GS 350 F Sport and am looking into purchasing a set of orange brake calipers to replace the original set. Anyone out there have any input if this is a good idea or not? Also price point on a set from the dealer? Thanks!

Definitely paint them yourself, very easy.

The orange brake calipers are unique to the GS F and i'm not sure if it will fit on F-Sport models....you might need to change your wheels and possibly other brake components.

Definitely echoing the voice of previous posters - paint them yourself with G2 Caliper paint or have a reputable wheel/tire shop paint them for you (i got mine painted by a local shop when I installed new tires).

I didn't use G2, I used Rust-Oleum. http://a.co/ixS60Yw

Hello Club Lexus members,

New to the group after purchasing my first Lexus. I was interested in finding out if anyone has done a brake system upgrade (calipers and rotors) with Brembo, willwood, etc. After doing multiple searches, I was not able to come up with solid information. Even browsing the vendor sites I didn’t see a listing for it. I have a 2018 GS350 F Sport 2wd.

Thanks in advance and looking forward to contributing to this forum.

GS-F/RC-F brembo front caliper and rotors will bolt on perfectly fine. The rears will not. 19" or larger wheels will be required. each calipers are close to 1k, each rotors are close to 400 each. USED complete set on ebay is usually around 2200.
