Have you looked at Endless? Endless has all their pads available except MX72 and SS (which are for track/etc use) according to their site.... and i think endless isn't crap aftermarket?

and wow, starfire pearl on a GS...niiice!

i decided to have my whole car repainted anyways because my car was from vegas, and the bumper was worse than sandpaper. i really liked the starfire white pearl, and wanted to keep the paint as oem as possible, thus just updated its white with the new white.

did anyone rebuild (replace seals and boots) their LS400 calipers yet? Is there a good diy on this?

hmm, i gotta look thru my hdd. i remember downloading instructions on how to rebuild the seals on a set of NSX calipers (back when i owned a honda prelude). but i bet its a similar process.

Just caught this thread. I installed LS400 rotors / calipers on my buds car about 4 years ago.

Rotors are from iRotors.com, they are still on his car with no warpage or cracking.

Pads are EBC, but there are ceramics now available from various sources.

No RCA's installed back then. I just made a diagonal cut on the end of the bolt head using a dremel.

you didnt need any shims or anything to make sure the caliper sits center of the rotor right?

he used LS calipers,rotors,pads

anyway...LS and supra calipers are straight bolt on? or do i need to make a bracket? too lazy to search and this thread is already here...

the location for the bolt holes is exact the same as the GS, however, since i havent mounted my set of calipers yet, i wasnt sure if they would sit perfectly center when they are mounted on the LS rotors, the bolt locations might be exact, but not sure if the hub assembly spacing is exact.

its like aftermarket big brake kits, they almost always, such as the baer brakes, come with shims so that when u put them on the car, you can fine tune the caliper location so that when u apply the braking force, its evenly spaced applied on both sides of the rotor.
