Default Are LS430 brakes same as Supra from 2003?

Is there any interchange between 2003 LS430 and a 2003 Supra? I was looking at a big brake kit by Kido for Supra's and wondered if the Supra and LS shared parts/specs on their brakes?

Two entirely different brake set ups on both platforms. However, most of these BBK are universal with using just a adapter. Maybe they can take some measurements and make you a bracket or you can go to a local machine shop and have them do it for you.

FYI- the Supra was last made in the US in 1998. In Japan they stopped production in 2002.
Be careful if they are advertising those brakes off a 2003 Supra.

I wouldn't be too worried, if its a legit Japanese brand then they would have the model listed up to the last year of their production model.

Has anybody ever used Kido brand BBK before? Are the calipers high quality?
