Don't know about the 430. I would assume that they are the same as the LS400. Those will fit the SC

I hate to be the bearer of bad noews but the ls430's wont fit. the way that they bolt on is completely different than the way the sc calipers bolt on. Though they are basically an all aluminum version of the supra tt calipers they still dont fit.

they will work with some custom brackets. if u check the 2gs forums i believe there was a guy that installed the ls430 brakes on his car. they are massive, and are sexy as hell. i hope u get some on i would love to see someone have them in the SC community.

Night Pager in Japan makes the brackets you need, they're a bit pricey and it'll take a lot of patience and time to get them

http://www.night-pager.net/cn6/cn9/pg110.html

Here's a link to their website. I just got a set of brackets from them for my IS300 and it took nearly eight months ... Good luck

I'd just go LS400, TT, or Z06 calipers and call it a day. Dont see the need to go through all this hassle when there are other awesome options out there.

I would just go with the LS400 BBk, it's one hell of a good upgrade for the money. A breeze to install. They pop up the FS section every once in awhile. Get the complete kit if you can.
