Default Should I buy LS400 calipers from this seller on ebay? REMANUFACTURED? OPINIONS please

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Disc-Brake-C...item2c64384cf5

OR...would it be better to buy them from Advance Auto? (they're the SAME as the OEM, 95-00 dual-piston calipers, right???

Besides the RCA's up front (if I go with LS400 calipers)- Is there anything else I need besides new Stainless lines, Rotors and Pads ??? Anything at all?

Really need to know if I should order OEM 2GS front Brake lines also. Will they fit will both the Supra TT or LS400 front calipers ?

I'D REALLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP/FEEDBACK about this guys.


And when installing either Supra TT or LS400 calipers, which stainless steel brake lines would you guys recommend? Goodridge or the second ones ?

Goodridge:

These look pretty nice, and they're available in Red, Blue, Black, Silver or Clear

AND WOW- helluva price on these. Stop-Tech stainless lines for only $60 shipped.

For lines go with Stoptech or Goodridge and all u need its rotors,pads,rcas,lines and calipers of your choice, for rcas go with 18mm contact PHML he will give u a good deal on them, for calipers its so many treads about it just search the brakes section check this tread about which wheels to use and spacers

Okay...cool. Thanks for the info bro.

I can buy the new lines for MY car though... The OEM size (stainless) brake lines by either Stoptech or Goodridge is what I need though, for sure?

And PHML is the BEST. I already ordered the RCA's for up front. I got 30mm...figuring the more the "drop"- the better, right?

Wondering if those calipers on Ebay are the ones I should buy.... ?

You're right, bro. I messaged them on Ebay, also.
But, it turns out the ones they HAD were not OEM (re-man) Calipers either, anyway. (they weren't Sumitomo)

By the way- I found the Goodridge brakes ines for a nice price- so I bought those.

I got a response from them as well -- the price you had listed in your OP was for a core exchange setup.

I dont think they make aftermarket branded calipers? I'm guessing they are refurb'd by whomever and rebadged?
