There is no real upgrade for the ls400 font calipers however I am working with Hawk and getting some made for us as I sent some old ones in so they have a template to work with but that may be months off yet.
If you need a good off the shelf pad get wagner thermo quiet ceramic pads which is what I run and have run on my supra tt as well as my sc with ls400 bbk and I have yet to tax them beyond their limit even braking from 170+ so unless you track it on a regular basis those will do you good.

I made contact with Hawk about this twice. The first time being about 3 years ago. I tried again about 6 months ago and they seemed more interested and said they would probably be able to produce pads for LS400 front calipers.
If you want good LS400 pads, just get custom ones made from Carbotech or Porterfield. They're not really that expensive compared to other high quality pads. Call them up, get almost any compound you want.
I'm surprised to learn that Hawk still isn't making any pads for the LS400 calipers. The HPS compound is one of my favorites and that should be a no brainer for them.
