Ill also answer your question. You will need brake pads as well if it doesn't come with it. It should come with the hardware and stuff but if not u will have to get that too. As for the bolts that hold the caliper. Yeah it is a lil longer but no biggy at all just. Just use one washer and I are set. All I did to mines was resurface my rotors and went and bought some dot3 brake fluid cause I bought some braided brake lines. Also 4 washers for the bolts for the calipers but other then that I spend about no more then $30. The most expensive thing was to resurface the rotors but no biggy too.

Did you reuse the stock rubber line or get a steel braided one?

Man, those white calipers look great and the stickers just are a bonus. The Rays look awesome on the SC, thats why i got a set. lol. The center caps are attention to detail!!! I think if you painted the center Lexus emblems black will be a nice touch!!

That I've seen from other post and threads I don't think your stock 16" will work. U will have to pick up some stocks ls400 or TT wheels to fit it if u wanna ride in stocks.

hello, im about to replace my stock seized up calipers with LS400, WHAT YEARS are preferred?

I work at the warehouse associated with junk yard so i get access to all kind of parts and info, the reason im asking is because LS400 calipers fit only 91-92, 93-94, and 95-00 (at least according to my system)

What year should i get and what should i be looking for?

Thank you
