Are the IS350s brakes the same as the F Sport?

Default regarding BBKs.

I'd love to replace the stocks, but i'm not gonna pay thousands for the BBK. I've put tons of money into my car and my wife doesn't even know. I got away with the car being lowered for weeks until i shipped my car and she saw my shipping invoice and saw stock lexus suspension on the shipping inventory. I think I'll keep it a little simple to stay in her good graces! (for now) I appreciate everyone's feedback..

I doubt it. i know the f sport line was made specifically for the IS250. If it were the same, I'm sure you'd see 350s with f sport mods.

No they are not. The IS350 has a 4 piston front caliper compared to the F Sport 6 piston front caliper and 4 piston rear caliper. The rotors are larger and drilled on the F Sport also.

I thought it was the same. My 350 BBK came in and the calipers are huge. Its almost the size of a license plate.

BBKs are absolutely a waste of money - just like buying a Lexus when you could have bought an old Civic. It's all about preferences.

^ What can I say, I'm a realist. I'm not going to kid myself and say I bought them for performance reasons, I bought them because they look SICK, and that's my preference.

umm...the F-Sport line for the IS is made for all the IS models (sedan/convertible/250/350), not just for 250. And you do see 350s with F-Sport mods, mine has them, and brociouz has them as the pic shows, and many others too.
