Anyone heard or done the ls400 4pot brake upgrade. Whether it's bolt straight on or not as easy.

Want to put some new brakes on my new supra, but I can't honestly justify 2.5k on k sports atm as I'm spending money on the engine and few other things??

 

Thanks in advance

Jon_dragon on here has done the swap on his. A little material needs removing around the mounting point on the caliper, but it is only a tiny amount.

 

You can buy a full set of the oem larger brakes for circa £1700, they are cheaper than ksports but still very good brakes.

I've just done mine. Had to cut the dust shield to allow bigger disks and callipers bolted straight on. Some people say you have to file a bit down on callipers but I didn't have to. I did struggle to remove the hoses from the hard lines though, so I've still got the old hoses on.

How much was the whole cost of discs calipers and pads and any links??

What year from the ls400 can you use?

 

The calipers are distinctive, as they're 4 pots, and they have a line that runs across the length of them.

These are the only 4 pot ones that will work. The later ls430 ones do not fit.
