Ok did my research, wanted to double check.

I have a 1990 ls400 and in order to get the 1995 -97 brakes and rotors to fit on my car need these items.


1995-97 lower ball joints
1995-97 brake rotors
1995-97 calipers loaded with hardware and pads

19x9 wheel with the offset in the 20 range.


am i missing anything?

95-00 calipers are the same iirc.

u can use any 95-00 LBJ, rotors, pads.

looks good except the wheel size/offset doesnt matter. the stock wheels are 16x7 +45. just need to make sure that the wheels you have/want to buy are HIGH DISK or made to fit large brakes. otherwise you'll be looking at usually 10-15mm(usually 15) spacers for the front.

dont forget to buy SS lines

and thanks again guys....

you don't need the lines, but they are a "while you're at it" upgrade (especially when compared to aged rubber lines).

i have an almost complete powdercoated brake upgrade for sale with very low miles. all you need is the lbjs. lmk if you're interested.

dont know if SS lines actually help but their better than the 21 year old hoses. check your junkyards for some cheap sets.,www.car-part.com then just hit up r1concepts.com for rotors and your set. i also recommend EBC red pads, had them on my setup and worked perfectly.

you can buy em new/reman loaded with pads all day long 200-250 why bother with used ones.

also just found some for 63 each with pads

Hi,

do the lines from the 92 calipers fit the 95-00 ones?
I already have the ss-lines for the standard calipers!

Thanks Chris

yes they do Chris.

ss lines do not flex like the rubber ones and they do help

LBJ kicked the bucket in '73 IIRC
