Any recommendations on where to purchase a master break cylinder for a 99 GS300? :/ Quick search produced a few units on eBay but not sure. TIA

Check your local Craigslist. There’s always a few GS’ being parted out. Go for an 01+. How many miles are you at? I’m looking into getting one soon even though mine hasn’t gone out yet. Just planning for the future lol.

I bought a used complete ABS unit from a 2001 GS300 on Ebay for $250 shipped. It was larger and heavier than I thought it would be, it was installed in my 2001 GS430 a month ago and the car runs normally now with no brake issues! Only paid $200 out the door for installation and brake bleed.

Buying from Ebay is risky but I bought the ABS unit from a seller with 11,000 feedbacks for auto parts with 99.9% positive feedback. Worked great.
