My brothers got a 97 ls400. He has an extra set of calipers. I know that it can be done to the second gen gs, but how bout the first gen? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I just did it. It takes A LOT of griding to get it to work. If you need me to, I can take pictures of the bottom of the calipers and the bolt I had to grind to get it to fit...

Take a look at my most recent posts in my build thread and you will see I just did it. Uploading new pics here in a second.

Yes please.

 

OR, you can do it right and buy a RCA kit, there's a couple people in the UK that sell it. easy install and no sketchy grinding to do

 

Been looking into that. Keeping my options opened.

 

How is grinding "sketchy?" Its not like you have to grind a bolt off.

 

So from some research I've done, those RCA's are more prone to failure than simple grinding. Not to mention, when you spend $200 on RCA's you have more in your LS setup than you would a TT supra setup (which from what I have read clear fine). The LS setup is a BBK on a budget and that's why people use them. They aren't concerned with simple grinding.

 

so where are the pics?

 

Haven't had a chance to pull the wheel off just yet. Been working-and am currently at work.

 

Kool. Thanks.

 

Pictures? I think I wanna do this one but I wanna see how it looks and what's involved first

 

Word me too, i'm wanting to buy this set but idk what to do!

 

I'm sorry guys, I have been SLAMMED at work. I promise I haven't forgot. I am going to get the pics, it just won't be today. I am seriously working on it. I SHOULD be able to get off at 2PM tomorrow, so I should be able to get you guys some pics tomorrow.

 

To the OP,

Here's the thread with instructions from a ClubLexus member who had upgraded the LS400 brake for the 1st Gen GS300.

Hope this helps !

I believe the 2GS RCA kit does fit the 1GS.

I also seen pics of ppl grinding both the bolt and the caliper...and one member who grinding the caliper too much and made a hole in it...YIKES!!!
