Hey thanks bro..do you know if I have to do the usual modifications like I would have on the 2nd gen gs, like cutting that bolt thread down or getting an RCA kit or slighty shaving the caliper?..I know all 3 doesnt need to be done but does anyone of them need to be?...thanks alot!

I don't think it will pose as any improvement, i've driven the LS400 of a friend's and driven my 3GS, the 3GS has a much better bite as far as brakes go. If you're looking for more brake power i'd really get some aftermarket BBKs.

P.S. I've looked at the curb weight of the 3GS and the 1LS, and they're about 200lbs in difference.

Glad they r close but I'm sure they brake better I'm thinking of doing this too jus don't want to down grade so they I'm sure It will improve they r four piston and bigger as to two pice brakes Tht are riciculously small! And it's cost effective I'm sure some ppl jus like me want the looks without the $ and down grade of brake performance!??
