F Sport Brakes on a 450h?
It does not seem to be listed as available for the hybrid. Any opinions? Not sure how they would affect the regenerative braking.

Thanks, those are IS-F one (Brembo), only thing I could say is WOW!!!
at least I got 30% to 40% more braking power.
I use Project MU pads for front and rear, and they are really have a grip.....
another thing about project MU is Dustless, so its similar like the OEM one.overall I very happy with the upgrade...

so the IS-F brembo bbk is a direct fit for our GSh? does brembo not have any direct application for GS?

-1st the price wise.
For complete used set of IS-F calipers (Front and Rear) 6 pistons, new Rotors (Centric), new Brake Pads (Project Mu), new IS-F wheel hubs (front only), new IS-F front dust shields and new IS-F spare tire is about half price what Brembo GT (6 pistons) front brake systems.
-2nd
If I'm use Brembo GT brake systems, I can't use spare tire. Kind of paranoid driving without spare....
even though I saw on IS forum they use 25mm spacers to make it work.

Yes, the rear just plug 'n play, the front you have to replace the wheel hub with the IS-f hub after that just a breeze......Brembo does have for application for GS. the reasons I choose this over Brembo GT are,
