they will not fit. LS 400 got 5 lug, the disk is shown with 4 lug
This is a set of performance brake discs to fit the model listed in the title

If your model is not an exact match for the title then these probably do not fit.

Picture is a generic sample one. Discs to be supplied from this listing are of a similar pattern but will be suitable for the application listed..
regardless, not a fan of dimpled rotors...unless they're from EBC or DBA.

Hey guys

They fit 90-92.

As the text says: "Picture is a generic sample one. Discs to be supplied from this listing are of a similar pattern but will be suitable for the application listed.."

Puredrifter, yeah i would like EBC but they dont make them for the 91 LS. But they make EBC pads for the front so thats what i would like to use.

advics are a stock compound....and given the cheapness of stock pads i would just buy those. or go aftermarket for better pad compounds.

I will use ebc pads because they make minimal brake dust and are better than stock.

But yeah the discs may be some cheap china metal discs where some uk company made some holes in them and sell as "sport" discs.

python, you wrote 1 or 2 weeks and they will be rusted??? you mean busted?

Regardless of manufacturer slotted, drilled or even dimpled rotors are less effective for the street than plain old solid rotors.
Brakes are the only thing between you and that 18 wheeler jumping on the brakes in front of you on the highway.
Buy tried, tested and true brake parts. It's not a part to 'try' something new.
