Default LS430 BBK Mounting Brackets for GS?

I'm currently looking for a mounting bracket to bolt on LS430 calipers onto my GS. Can anyone point me in the right direction of any company who may carry it?

VSC is back up, might want to try there. Um..this isn't something that's done Stateside, have you seen it done in Japan? I've never seen this before.

I remember someone saying they made them in Japan. I think it was Cocobun. Try asking him.

There is a former member who had brackets made for his 2nd gen GS. It's not cheap to get them custom made. Might be more of a hassle than just getting some real BBKs.

Any reason why you can't go with LS400 brakes instead? The only advantage the LS430s have is probably a cleaner look. It's a 1-piece monoblock design whereas the LS400 is 2-piece, but that shouldn't even be a determining factor unless you're that picky.

i did but for the LS460, not the LS430. like GSteg said, i dont see why you want LS430 over the LS400 when the LS400 is a bolt on (well, almost).

im running UCF20s on my JCE10/ IS300. alot easier to do/ more practical than the UCF30s. but the UCF30s are definitely prettier.

theres a guy on my.is/ is300.net and isfanatics, his name is FIG. he has made kits to make the supra tt brakes work. he might be able to help you. shoot him a PM on either one of those forums and im sure he'll be happy to help, if he can.

FIG takes out the mounting hole and relocates it on the calipers because the IS300's mounting hole is slightly off. Unless he can make a full bracket that holds the LS430s, then it might not even be worth it.

if you guys are going as far as getting brackets made for the LS430, might as well get the GS350 or even LS460 ones. not to mention

this is all you need for them too...
