The brakes on the 500 have been around close to decade since they first came out on the GS and RC. So your argument is flawed in that regards. And it’s not a piece of software that becomes obsolete as time passes. Brakes are one of those things that truthfully can’t be reinvented. It’s not a part that becomes obsolete with time. And people are talking about getting brand new parts. Not used or remanufactured parts. The way I see your argument it’s not different than you saying “why do ppl want to put a 100+ year old round wheels on a new car?” There’s a reason why the wheel hasn’t been reinvented in over a century. It doesn’t mean it’s bad

scroll up to the top of the thread (post #6) and you'll see that you will need the stock IS500 front rotor or the 2013 and up GS350 f sport 356mm front rotors to line up with ISF caliper. the IS350 front rotors are 334mm and will not work with ISF front caliper.

They keep changing the ETA to July, August, and now September. I wanted IS-F brakes so I could use the spare tire but I gave up and exchanged for RC/GS F calipers.
At least RC/GS F calipers were in stock.

Just to give you a heads up. I ordered the IS-F front caliper back in June.
They keep changing the ETA to July, August, and now September. I wanted IS-F brakes so I could use the spare tire but I gave up and exchanged for RC/GS F calipers.
At least RC/GS F calipers were in stock.

** they just got back and said last they heard was an ETA of December now.

yep, those are the two part number for the front left/ and right calipers.
then you need to add the pin kit: PN: 04947-0W010 must buy TWO. one for each caliper. this is the big bolt in the middle. You can also add the oem shims too if you want: PN: 04945-0W010 must buy TWO.
Add any front brake pads you like from 08-14 Lexus ISF. I personally use stoptech Street pads, you can find them on ebay. or any pads on rockauto. 100% bolt on. cool mod that should have been stock
@89is500 nice video!
