2015 vs 2016 IS350 F Sport brakes.

Lexus.com says the 2016 is350 F Sport front brakes are 6 piston brembos paired with 14.8 inch rotors. Can anyone confirm that if 2015 is that same? Also isn't the 2014s only 4 piston?

All 2016's (IS200t, IS300, IS350) have the four-piston calipers with 13.1-in ventilated discs.

Lexus.com has been notoriously bad for listing the wrong brakes for years.

Probably a reference to the "upgrade" or "OEM Aftermarket" F Sport branded blue BBK?

I'm a noob. Does the F-sport come with those disc/rotors with holes? Is there actually more braking performance with holes on the disc?

No, the F-Sport uses similar rotors to the non-F-Sport, pictured are the accessory big brakes made for F-Sport by Stoptech, these do not come on any of the cars from the factory.
