stevie_b Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 UK spec front calipers have 4 pistons in an opposed arrangement. Standard JSpec ones have 2 pistons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin smith Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks so jap ones are smaller, can UK spec. Be fitted without to much fuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 UK spec calipers and discs are a straight swap, though the dust shields on the back will either need replacing, bending or trimming. Lexus LS400 4 pot brake calipers and discs are a decent budget upgrade for front brakes, though disc and pad choice is limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 If you see both J spec and UK spec side by side, its easy to tell the difference. Also people don't tell you the LS discs are smaller, and you have to grind bits off the calipers to make them fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's only a tiny amount of the webbing, and this conversion has been done many times and I haven't seen a single issue. Yes, the LS400 setup is inferior to the UK one, but it is still a marked improvement to the j-specs, and at a fraction of the price of UKs.
