Question IS350 calipers on SC300/SC400?

Does anyone know if the brake calipers from the Lexus IS350 fit on the SC300/SC400 cars?

front or rears? i have a rear subframe from is350 at the shop. it has 2 piston calipers. i will try to fit them on my sc and see if they work. oh btw the differential on the is350 looks almost identical to my diff in the sc300. the only difference is the flange that the driveshaft bolts up to on the diff.

I work at lexus, and am always wondering the same question. They are some monstrous 4 piston calipers. If they do fit, I would want to see if the IS-F fit too

not only are they monstrous, they're very light. Less unsprung weight, the better.

If the IS350 brakes don't fit my 17inch supra TT wheels, then I'll just stick with my LS400 front brakes. This lighter weight rotor option will also help those of us with the LS400 brakes:

I'm hoping some good quality carbon brake pads will further decrease braking distance with the LS400 calipers....just an alternative option to the IS350 brakes if they don't fit our cars. Has anyone confirmed fitment of the Front IS350 calipers on our sc300/sc400 cars yet?
