IS350 Big Brake Conversion

[BillNick]

Hi guys,

Finally got my IS350 calipers done and back from Biggred. I asked them to emulate the ISF calipers and my god what a job they have done, looking awesome!

Trouble is, I have left it so late that I actually plan to sell my car in the next couple of weeks (after moving house), so the question is, do I fit them to the car adding a nice extra for the next owner, or will I get more interest selling as a kit off the car brand new? I also have OEM fitting kit, OEM anti squeal shims and EBC pads....

Wondering what its all worth, all you need is 334mm discs from a GS450h.

Thoughts?

Are these a direct bolt on to the is250. If so where did you purchase them from.

[BillNick]

Direct bolt on yes, including the brake lines.

All you need to do is cut about 1-2 inches off the end of the dust guard.

I got the calipers off a GS450h as they are the same, they were shot to bits. Then I sent them to Biggred and asked for full refurb and ISF look/finish.

I will probably be selling it all as a kit unless whoever buys my car wants them included in the deal.

All I have missing is discs from a GS450h. OEM are £144 so cheaper if you get brembo or something from Euro Car Parts.

I am open to offers if you are interested....

I am a bit old for this lark now mate. But an easy conversion if that is all you need, i done them on skodas using Porsche calipers in the past. Had Calipers from big red quality work.

[BillNick]

No worries. They really have done a top job, over the moon.....gutted at the same time as I have decided to sell the car now lol

Someone should buy these calipers as they're a great upgrade. I've had them on my car for over 2 years now. 👍

For anyone interested, pictured below is the small triangular piece on the dust shield that needs to be trimmed for them to be a direct bolt-on swap.

I am going to get a for sale post up later today

Will these fit with standard 17” wheels or do you have to go up to 18”?

[BillNick]

You need 18” I’m afraid

[Texas]

I thought I remembered you needed bigger wheels, just in case someone is interested and got 17”!

[J Henderson]

IS350 came with 17" wheels as standard in the US.

Asking price?

[BillNick]

I’m very sorry this kit sold yesterday which is why I didn’t get around to posting a full advert

Did you change master cylinder?
