Hi Anish.. Welcome..!!!
At the time of the NS pad launch, PMU was still cutting the break pad pucks to fit the break sensors..
(Which were never part of the IS-F braking system..)
But the D1365 designation lead them to believe thats what we needed...
Can you tell me today if the NS & NS400 (Front) now come with full clean pad pucks with NO cut outs for the break sensors that we do not have... (Found on few older Benzos that also use our Front Brembo calipers)
Thanks

Thank you for the welcome- Lou got in touch with me and passed on this question, here's a picture of both the NS and NS400 to help : NS is on the top, NS400 on the bottom

Hello Anish,
Thanks for posting the side by side comparison...
So basically, they are now using the same backing plates, but have made us the proper "Toyota Fitment" version pucks found on the NS400..
Are both the backing plate material and brake puck materials exactly the same on both versions ??
Clear brainer would be to purchase the now available NS400, since it makes more sense the have full brake pad coverage..
Thanks for the info so far..
I can tell you that the Type NS pads I have been running for over two years, have a perfect OEM like fitment.. (for the IS-F)

According to Anish the difference in the manufacturing between the Type NS and NS400 Pads is The NS400 is a lower cost version of Type NS. The compound is made in Japan but moulded onto backing plates that are cut in Thailand for lower cost.

Speed-Freaks Group Buy
As promised the good guys at SpeedFreaks have put together a Group Buy for us at CL. As many of you know, I purchased my Ferodo DS2500 Front Pads from them, and frankly was blown away by their customer service. There are great guys to work with. I will probably be getting in on this myself - I'll be replacing my front rotors (again) with the Project Mu. From the feedback I have seen, these are a quality slotted rotor suitable for aggressive driving. The pad choices in the Group Buy are familiar to all you guys, and are all low dust. The Group Buy is here:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...e-special.html
And ends on 2/8/13.
For those of you interested in a more track oriented rotor and more aggressive pads, I believe a future Group Buy will come up with 2 piece rotors like described in this thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-freaks-2.html
I believe more aggressive pads will be an option with the 2 piece rotors.
