Default How to get a Brand New LS400 "BBK" for 188.00

Been seeing a lot of people spending some crazy money on LS400 brake sets.
Figured I would share a nice method to get this stuff cheap!! You will have a nice kit for short money!

I went on to www.Advancedautoparts.com and with the help of the coupon code "VISA" ($10 off $30, $30 off $75, $50 off $150)

I was managed to get a full LS400 brake kit for 188.00 After a $60.00 core charge. You are going to have to do 4 complete ordered to get this price.(picking them up at the store is a nice way to aviod shipping (free ship over 75.00)

Just follow this:

Calipers :
OEM rebuilds btw
Use The "VISA" Code on each caliper to get $30.00 off-That means two separate orders

Right:

After all said and done and everything is order. Everything will come to 188.00ish (depending on taxes and B.s). Again..that is after the 60.00 core charge and shipping is going to depend if you cant pick it up and wat is free ship. Good Luck hope this helps!

I check the prices for Supra TT its not too much more money...Left side is a lot more than the right side for some reason...Just make sure to Use VISA on every order and just crunch the numbers and see if its cheaper for 50 off 150 or 30 off 75.

the ls400 calipers are easy to obtain. The Supra TT, on the other hand, isnt. It shows stock in their system but when they go to order it, its not available. I ran into this last year when I thought I was smart and ended up going with the LS400 setup.

It is cheap, but I heard horror stories about rebuild stuff. I'm not saying in general about their calipers, I heard about some on their power steering and stuff..

Anyone trust them?

After my failed attempt at using cross drilled/slotted ebay rotors, I think it's time to get these.

The calipers only discount by $10 - they're not including the core charge in the discount promo
