I just picked up a set of 4 piston LS calipers and Im in need of a good set of rotors. I have seen mixed opinions about the brembo blanks, so im open to any suggestions that you guys can give. I read that EBC and Powerstop make some rotors for this application, but have not gotten any reviews. Should i consider OEM? I prefer just slotted rotors but i know that will be hard to come by. Any input greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

 

OEM:

Go for Brembo.

Aftermarket:

ebay rotors-- R1concepts or Irotors. Make sure you get zinc plated.


Brake pads:

Ceramic and nothing else.

 

stoptech slotted all the way.

i also use stoptech's pads.

i've used stoptech's rotor/pad setup on my pickup, sports car, etc. Great setup. noticeable improvements, low dust, no noises, i'm very happy.

 

All i see for stop-tech's are for the LS430. With the Ls430 rotors work with the 95-99 style LS400 calipers???

 

u can get ATE slotted for cheap from TireRack

 

I've been using the Brembo slotted & drilled LS400 rotors for front and rear (SC rotors) on my SC400 along with ceramic Monroe pads and they're just so great. I also use complete stainless brake lines. I'm not sure what makes the stopping power a lot better than the stock SC400, but it's just amazing. I'd strongly recommend the Brembo and ceramic pads. You can use non drilled rotors if you want. I'm sure they still stop better than small SC rotors.

 

the ls400 oem Brembo blanks were pretty cheap, and look well built....I'm installing them sometime next week. I'll let you know how they turn out

 

brembo never made slotted OR drilled for the 2nd gen LS400 specifically

 

Exactly. These were drilled/slotted by R1 Concepts in the U.S. They're pretty good so far.

 

stoptech makes the proper setup, it's just not listed on their site.

 

Im ordering the stop tech's....its around 200 for the pair. Ill let you guys know how it goes.
