Gauging Interest on Brake Package Deal
Open to ClubLexus Paid Members
If not a member the final price will be $30 more.. Membership has its privileges so if you haven't become a Member this is the time..
Ok some members do not have the funds to do a big brake upgrade AP Racing/RMM and some don't even want to go to the Supra brake upgrade either because they don't intend to upgrade their wheels or already have standard disk wheels.. So from talking with Steve Ganz depending on how many people will get on board across all the vehicle lines (RX, LS, LX, GS, IS, ES & SC) he can supply the following:
Stock sized front & rear CAD plated cross drilled & slotted rotors
EBC Green Stuff Sport Pads
SS brake lines
Shim Kit
So basically you get the look plus a bit better braking.. Price is yet to be hammered down this is just to figure out how many folks would be interested so Steve can go to his vendors for a better price for ClubLexus..
NOTE: This sticky will stay up till Friday June 14, 2002
At that point Steve or myself will post a package price depending on interest and payment details will be posted so if you think this is something you want please reply..

Hi Ken,
I already have everything (from Steve, of course!!) except the SS brake lines. He mentioned to me that there would have to be a certain ## of people to have his connections develope a set for the first gen LS. I don't mean to make more work for you but can you talk to Steve and find out if this is still true and what that ## is. I'm sure there are enough members that would jump on the brake lines even if they didn't want the rest of the upgrade.
I also upgraded my brake fluid to ATE blue. Maybe Steve can offer a ~racing fluid in the group buy. If people replace everything else, including lines, it only makes sense to replace the fluid.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks guys for the input.. I'll try to get more info on the brake lines and fluid for you Zushwa.. If you could do me a favour and post pictures of your brakes for your fellow LS members it would be very helpful..
I'll try and post pictures very soon with pricing too in a couple of days once more people have a chance to toss their hat in..
Thanks!

Ok don't have the actual pictures of the rotors yet but these are sort of what the rotors look like minus the slotting but these are the drilled only versions.. These were from the Supra Brake Upgrade that Steve offered to CL last year for the GS.. As noted by the goldish look they are CAD plated so they will not rust on the hats like our stock rotors..

Ok I recently did the cross drilled for my LS here is the thread with good pics.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=crossdrilled
That was only the front rotors, which give me a grinding noise when braking hard around the 40mph zone. Otherwise they are good, can't compare to stock new though, cus my old ones were warped the whole life. They do smell alot after hard hard braking.
I'm interested in a new set of cross and slotted with pads and lines though ;-)

Sorry guys for not updating sooner.. Last email from Steve was he approached his vendors this way:
Pricing for:
1 - 10
11 - 20
21 - 30
And so on.. We are in above the 30 people range so we're most likey to get a down and dirty price if all holds true.. Steve will post the price hopefully early in the coming week.. Thank you for being patient..
