No they might not!
As we found out at the mini meet on Saturday, the AS200 and RS200 have different brakes, smaller callipers etc.
Hence why 0SENSE changed his AS200 callipers in favour of RS200 callipers.
The AS ones seemed to be smaller, and have a semi circle cut out in the middle. (with Lee Wilkys anyway)
Unsure about the IS200. Might have changed halfway through production or something though.

the RS auto also uses smaller calipers compared to the RS manual...
and the RS manual brakes are also used on the SC430 aka Soarer...

Yes that might be a differnece, as Eric's Auto had the same 'big' brakes, think it is with the "Z" Edition

Thats strange as this has never come up on western forums.... The guys in singapore mentioned this alright with regards the auto so i presumed it was the 4 speed as200 they were talking about...
Mine for the record has "lexus" pads fitted as thats what i ordered
Must be the fact that it's an RS200 Z tiptronic thats the difference

The ones with the "hole" in them are single piston calipers and the solid block looking ones (RS200 Manual) are twin piston.
IS300s seem to have the same as the RS200, all the AS200's ive seen have the smaller ones.

AS Z's have the larger style.

Yeah, they were new and free of stone chips then... That said, they're still not looking too bad:
