Default LS400 brakes

Can someone tell me if these are 4 pot LS400 brakes
I assume you need one from a 95 onwards UCF20?

They dont look to be in the greatest condition. Is this of concern?
Which one would be the best set to buy?


Set 3




Set 4

Thanks.
Which looks in the best condition to get?
Some look like the rotors have massive amounts of rust?

It may be cheaper if I just get the LS400 4 pots from Japan and the Rotors locally (new) - DBA




How much the the calipers weigh, and how much do the rotors weigh?
