Default IS350 Brakes on IS250

Has anyone done this conversion yet? is it a simple swap with just the brake calipers and rotors?? does anyone have the part numbers of the parts i need just to do the conversion. Thanks!

Check out Sewell's website..it IS a direct swap with no modification needed. The kit cost about a grand. http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par...l.asp?id=89403

Before you order the fronts, put in the promotion code "CLUBLEXUS" I think you get a pretty good discount w/ that code. Pretty much takes away shipping costs. And no, the rears aren't worth it. Spend that money on some stainless steel lines and some really high-end heat-resistant paint to paint your calipers whatever you like.

the rear are vented and 0.5" bigger. Won't make a difference in everyday performance but for looks...maybe.

If I buy this kit will I need anything else besides buying rotors. I want to get slotted rotors and SS lines from someone else.
