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

Thank you

Thank you.

I got '95 LS400 Brakes with almost new brake pads and was all excited until i start cleaning them up. I used wire wheel and it was working wonders even when it slipped and went over my hand. I decided to clean inside of them too and noticed one boot worn off and cylinders rusted. By the way the white stuff is De-Ruster also works great. Im in little trouble now, i read that everyone used air to get cylinders out, but i dont have air at all, so is there another way to get cylinders out?

Here are few pictures:

That pair looks a little rough. I would turn those in for core charge and get a refurbished pair to save time and avoid headaches.
