Default Fs: Ls400 Brake Caliper Bracket

Selling LS400 Brake Bracket/Spacer to fit LS400 Caliper. By using this bracket, you can put ls400 caliper on your GS. It fits 1st and 2nd gen GS300/400. Most people use supra brakes because ls400 brakes hit the supension bolt when you put on the caliper. Using this bracket will clear the bolts and make the ls400 caliper bolt on. This bracket will also lower your car about 1/2 in. So it suggest to have coilover so you can readjust the height.

Price: $100 Shipped

I will try to get some pix of the bracket up tonight.

I believe you can get the ls400 caliper from gazi as well. LS400 calipers are 4 piston and the design is newer than the supra brake calipers.

I don't really understand how a caliper bracket will lower the overall height of the vehicle. Can you post a pic of it on a car, if you have one. I would like to know where it actually bolts up to.
thanks

i think johnee78 did some posts on this in the past. if not the LS400 bracket then the LS430 or both. it's been a while but i know there are posts out there on the topic.

i got them off another memeber, i believe it made in japan since the instructions are in japan.

I forgot to take pix of the bracket before i took it off, but it does lower the car, since it raise up one of the supension part, making the car lower. But it does lower the car. The instructions shows where to place the bracket and such.

ricky,

here is the link to the prior post on these rca's. it mainly isolates the calipers from hitting the control arm bolts. some people shave the bolt down but this is the better way.

Cal thanks for the info. A pic is more than a thousand words. I was hoping that this would be for the rear brake. But I guess it is for the front brake.
Ricky
BTW did you get the rotors

I can vouch for the brackets lowering the car, I know I have them. I would say they lowered the car about an inch. They're well made - anodized aluminum.

these are roll center adapters.. the mount in line with your lower balljoint whereby it raises the entire steering knuckle.. it kinda tricks the susp to think its actuallsitting higher

i know for i installed these on johnee's car way back when .. they are great parts
