Default GS300 calipers and ls400, supra, soarer calipers

hi guys



i have few questions please.



1. any place to buy cheap calipers for my gs300 mk2 1998 ?

2. any place who refurb calipers

3. will soarer, ls400 or supra calipers fit gs300 mk2 or any other make / model without any wheel / suspension modifications.



my both front calipers are sticking. i have checked and its not rubber boots or slider pins. lexus quoted me £720 inc parts and labour for front 2 calipers.



any help would be much appreciated

Junk yards/Ebay/ Part stores.
2. any place who refurb calipers
Lexus sells the rebuild kits or the calipers, has to be a reason why yours are sticking.
3. will soarer, ls400 or supra calipers fit gs300 mk2 or any other make / model without any wheel / suspension modifications.
Supra's are a direct fit, the LS400s require modification of the a bolt, there are threads on this. However with any setup that you go with it would require at least 17" wheels and big brake clearance. If you are running the stock GS 17"s then you would require a 15MM spacer.

he's in scotland so i cant imagine a whole lot of lexus in the yards over there, ebay shipping will really suck to scotland but part store should have them

OP if u search u could find out all the info on what brakes fit your car. depending on your rim size there is a BBK kit for sale in the classifieds
