Default ls430 rear big brake upgrade

price update $800 for whole pkge


any interested in my rear big brake upgrade for the 98-04 gs 300/400



i have just bought the rotora crossdrilled and slotted rotors in the supra tt size approx 13in as compared to barely 12in on the stockers they cost 340 with the black ecoating on the hub

also bought with it the brand new axsis ultimate ceramic pads for the ls 430 caliper

custom mounting brackets from hong kong to mount the ls430 caliper to the gs =450 approx

ls430 calipers painted red or can be repainted any color you wish prior to shipping


goodrich brake lines for the rear

this rear kit works extremly well with the ls400 front or supratt front , it will completely balance out the brake bias . it is a very very big difference not to mention it looks nicer with the larger caliper and 13in rotor esp when you have 19in or 20in wheels


price is 850 for everything


to duplicate this

calipers= 500 new (very hard to get used 2001 -2004 ls430 calipers)
mounting bracket from hong kong =400 approx
rotors= 340
pads= 90
lines=75

total=approx 1400


the only reason i am now considering seling these is to better balance my 6pots up front with a 4pot in the rear other then that others who have driven with me can attest to the stopping power they generate

no one wants a inexpensive rear big brake upgrade to balance out fronts esp those using the supra tt setup or front ls 400 setup

price reduced to $800 , come on guys nobody wants a very effective rear bbk upgrade without spending 2k+ for it , it works extremely well with those who have supratt fronts or ls400 fronts and they look nice behind 19 and 20in wheels

okay for those guys who asked about clearance issues for this setup , or those worrying about high disk req for the rear its no problem


i measured the actually width of the stock caliper which is 6inches at its widest point and if measure from the rotor between the pads its 3.5 inches


the ls430 caliper is not as bulky , its approx alittle over 5.5 inches wide and alittle over 3inches from center of rotor again between the pads to the outer most edge of the caliper , so clearance is no issue .. these calipers are not that bulky looking stock ones , the calipers more resemble a stoptech or brembo type caliper design/look ... they are long from top to bottom not wide


fireballs, i have not forgotten you bro , i will reply to your pm today with the actual numbers , just wanted to think about it over night
