Just wanted to share how excited I am. I got home from work and a package was waiting for me on my front door. Yup, 1998 LS400 calipers... Can't wait to install it but I still have to save up for pads and rotors. First step on these ones I guess is to clean them up and maybe send them out for powdercoating . Any suggestions on what cleaning chemical to use and what color to change them with? I have a silver on black sc400

Here are some pictures.

 

diluted simple green, wire brush, and tooth brush,

black

 

very nice upgrade i did the same to my sc about 6 months back...u will feel the difference.

 

whats the size difference?

 

Will do... Thanks

So i've read... Only way to find out is when I finish putting it on and trying it for myself

Not sure as I have not took measurement of the stock one. Hopefully this weekend. The stock one looks like 2/3 its size tho.

 

how much did u pay?

i got a sliver/black sc400 too and am painting mine f sport blue.

 

thought you were painting "Brembo" on them?

 

Paid just the price they are going for plus shipping. The seller is local but too far to drive so I paid the extra $15 or whatever... How much did you pay for yours?

Anyway, still deciding on the color. I'm thinking glossy look like black. I think i'll leave the rear as is but if I find a good deal out there then i'll probably jump on it too.

Show us how yours look when its done.

 

Dang! I like what your saying.

 

yep

painting my ls400/supra tt rear calipers f sport deep blue with white brembo and painting my full supra tt set black with white brembo on it.
i paid 50 for each so 100 total. Thats the standard rate at the junkyards here.

 

X2...black only IMO...

 

Only $100?
Wow, I'll need a set real soon

 

Wait why are you painting brembo on oem lexus calipers?

 

cuz it looks nicer saying brembo

p.s. its a sumitomo calipers not lexus

 

i bought2 complete sets(calipers, pads, shims, rotors) for 100 bucks for each set.
