Can you tell us what vehicle these brake were original equipment for? It's been theorized they may be AMG pattern calipers due to visual similarities, but through all the pictures and updates you have yet to confirm what car they come on from the factory.

The listing on Yahoo auction specified it was a UCF30 / lexus ls430 01-03
How does brake pedal feel with those? They look like the same casting as the older e55 AMG 8 pots. Does it use 4 small pads up front?
I'm starting to piece a bbk together myself and was wondering if I could get bias close enough to factory or maybe biased forwards a little more. Picked up the brembo 6-pots and am planning to transfer the front calipers to the back if they're small enough to maintain a similar brake bias. Do you have a casting or p/n for the calipers by chance?
soon...
Unfortunately I can't test them out right now. The car is not here with me, but to answer your question yes they do have the four small brake pads for the front set. I'll take some better pictures and try to locate the part number on the actual calipers.
After a lot of paperwork 14 hours of flying and 6 horrible in flight meals i made it back to Sunny San Diego... now just have to wait 2 months for my property lol....

Those Brembo 8 pot calipers are OEM fit on several Audi RS (3, 4, 6, TTRS) models and I believe also on the Lambo Gallardo.
I helped a friend overhaul them on his R6 last year.
Knowing that might make it easier to find pads and parts for them if needed.

Thank you so much, how hard was it to overhaul them?
Getting the pistons out and the new seals in requires patience and double-jointed fingers but no worse than any other monobloc calipers.
I have 4 piston calipers on my motorcycles and they are pretty similar to those.
Easiest with them on the bench rather than on the car.

Currently I'm stationed in Japan, more so Yokohama right outside of Tokyo. Besides the culture the food and a beautiful atmosphere I've been able to collect a plethora a car parts for my UCF 31. I decided while I'm out here I needed a clear focus If I'm going to theme my car, how should I do it so I chose to do a Tom's edition LS430. After research and understanding that all the parts and additions that I wanted are no longer being reproduced. I would have to switch to Yahoo Japan and other sources to acquire them. This is my journey thus far one year later.
I started by doing some research on the supercharger created by Tom's finding my specific year make and model - 3k on Yahoo auction jp. The interesting part was I actually got a chance to drive the car The kit was installed on and it is very responsive it's surpassed my expectations.
My plans for this kit and engine mods, are to add headers and a portmap everything That's about as extensive as I want to go right now. New upgraded intercooler as well.
Next to dress up the engine bay I found and sourced two other parts that were near to impossible to find which is the Tom's carbon fiber engine cover and Tom's carbon fiber intake cover.
Next next I decided I needed a set of wheels not just any wheels but Tom's I searched for quite a bit and found two sets that I liked
19" 5x114.3 500.00 shipped
Un unfortunately I have four sets of rims right now
Two sets of Tom's the other being 18"
HRE 22s - for my suv
Autocouture 20
soon to come stock Toyota Celsior 18 chrome
Did you ever get these wheels? I'm from california and haven't seen these Tom's in 19's. would love a set if you ever come across one.
If you ever decide to sell the Tom’s 19’s, I would be interested considering we would have to arrange shipping. Or if you can point me to a yahoo or eBay Japan link where I can search.

For searching just go to Yahoo auction. Japanese ebay is hit or miss for the most part. If by chance you do find something on eBay buy it right away don't wait. As far as those rims go, there's special I haven't been able to find them again.
