#228
just get a rca to lift about 3/4 of inch not hard at all i would not shave down the caliper itself. and for 400 bucks this was the best mod i have done for that cheap. hers a pic of the one i made with some 1/4 plate and washers.

i have a few questions, i been reading this thread and a few others including these
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...o-rubbing.html
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...r-upgrade.html
and one of my ?'s got answered as to the bolts but i have another question.
i have rotora slotted rotors i got awhile ago and would like to keep them, can i use them when i mount my ls400 brakes?
i know ls400's are 12.4" rotors from reading his thread (the key info is my rotor size which i will measure tomorrow)
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...y-auction.html
depending on the size of my rotora's, as in if mine wont fit after i measure them, will these work?if so is there a cheaper place to get them, like a vendor on here?

also....i been using hawk HP pads, any suggestions or preferences on pad brands for the ls400 rotors?

Subscribed ive been debating in doing this for some time now...I drive my GS430 hard and tired of warping my rotors and changing pads...besides the Lexus silver is peeling of my calipers so it gives me a reason to change them...lol

LS brakes
I'm sure many of you guys out there have seen IS and SC install LS400 brakes and also Supra TT brakes. Well, just for the record, the LS brakes DO NOT fit 2rd Gen GS!!!!
The following pictures will show what didn't fit.
btw, now they're up for sale. If you're looking for this setup for your SC or IS, PM me. I have the calipers and Rotora slotted & drilled rotors.
**********************************************************************
After looking at it for about 30 mins or so, I found a way to fit them. Very simply to do, no cutting or grinding required.

so now my questions are...does any vendor on here sell Rotora rotors and what pads are you guys recommending for the LS calipers?

thanks.....glad least ONE person who viewed this and has the LS400's answered me.
no squeaking noise overtime, my hawks tend to squeak at 1-5 MPH not when your hard on them and only after a year or so. the EBC hold up well? a lot or a little brake dust?
EDIT: just noticed you said USED as in past tense, do you not have them anymore or did you change pads?

i experienced no squealing at all even when it was a little cold. this is when u properly place break lube. EBC pads held up great and stopped great even in the cold. i would say there was a relatively low amount of brake dust but that all depends on braking habits.
yep i had a 93 LS400 which came with stock 2 pots so i upgraded for the 4 pot system and since i was getting rid of the car i removed them and its been sitting in the garage since, pads STILL looking new after being installed in March and removed in Sept. (Car and brake system for sale btw)
