01 GS3 brake question
So we're changing the brakes on my GS, and on the front we are doing the 05-00 LS400 calipers/rotors/pads.
My question is, what kind of upgrade fits well on the rear that would look a bit nicer to match with the fronts? from everything I've read, I see that the SupraTT calipers don't fit on the rear of the GS.
Someone had mentioned in a post that someone else had used LS430s on the rear, but that was a post from 2005 and they themselves were not the person that did it, and i'm not sure how much of a response i'd get reviving that old of a thread.
Do the LS430's calipers fit on the GS, or are there modifications needed? I've tried looking around but haven't found much on it, as most people swear themselves to secrecy over things like that (which I don't really understand and it mildly infuriates me ) or one person says they fit while another swears they don't.
any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Can't say I've heard too much about rear caliper conversions outside of going with a proper bbk. When I did the LS400 conversion on my car all I did was buy a new set of rear calipers and paint them to match the LS400's.

From what I have read the 95-00 LS calipers bolt on (with appropriate RCA adapter) and the 01-06 LS calipers do not without a new bracket. The bolt holes on the LS430 caliper are different spacing. They are proper spacing on the 95-00 LS400 caliper.
