Default LS400 brakes

Can someone tell me if these are 4 pot LS400 brakes
I assume you need one from a 95 onwards UCF20?

They dont look to be in the greatest condition. Is this of concern?
Which one would be the best set to buy?


Set 3




Set 4

Set 3-8 are all LS brakes and set 8 looks to be the cleanest so get those

Thanks.
Which looks in the best condition to get?
Some look like the rotors have massive amounts of rust?

It may be cheaper if I just get the LS400 4 pots from Japan and the Rotors locally (new) - DBA




How much the the calipers weigh, and how much do the rotors weigh?
