95+ LS400 Brakes
i just swappped the ls400 4 piston calipers and rotors to my sc300. dust shield needs to be removed or cut.
hopefully this is another alternative to the expensive tt setup.

Sounds great.
Could you post some pictures and give more details on actual components purchased (part numbers and pricing). Also, are the rear brakes from the LS better than the stock SCs?
Thanks in advance.

The front calipers are almost identical to the front Supra TT brakes. Aliga, did you swap the rears too? Finding these are hard because the LS guys swap them to update their pre 95 brakes. Awesome job. Congrats on taking the plunge. Get some pics up!

That's great news. Was it a pretty straight forward intstall? Did you need a high disk wheel to clear the larger calipers like you do for the TT swap?

in my head i think the tt parts and the ls parts are identical, you will need a high disk setup.
i dont know about the rears.
i got the parts used all from an LS. sorry no part numbers, all you need is the rotors and calipers, and the caliper bolts from the LS.
If anyone wants I will be getting a set of calipers, and can sell for 210 shipped.

Question: Is the LS400 rotor size the same as the TT rotor?

Will the Supra brake rotor fit the LS400 caliper?
