very nice!!! I didn't realize how much bigger the 350 brakes were compared to the 250..never been curious to know..maybe now I will appreciate my stock brakes more....very nicely done. Do you feel any difference?

I got mine from another CL members so you can't really compare my prices.
For comparison sewell sells the kit for $787: linkie
The IS350 brakes should fit the stock 17's without any problem since orig equip are 17's. 18 or 19 stocks should be fine as well.

Larger brakes will not stop the car in any shorter distance than the stock ones will.
Brakes don't stop the car, tires do.
Changing brake parts -can- certainly change the "feel" of the system, but it won't make the car stop in any shorter distance.
And yes, drilling is the worst thing you can do to a rotor...nobody who understands brakes really debates that... for a street car a drilled rotor is inferior in every single way to a blank undrilled one. (except arguably that the drilled one "looks" better).
Slotted on the other hand can be useful if you use the car at the track, but otherwise just stick to blank.
