Default LS 400 calipers on to 1998 GS 300

Gentlemen and Ladies of course have been offered a set of front and rear callipers from a 1992 LS 400 and was thinking of fitting them to my 1998 GS 300 just want to make sure that the 1992 LS callipers are the upgrade that a lot of people have done on the forum and of course any advise would be welcome regarding the fitting.
Thanks for your time and knowledge

No. 95-00 (UCF20) LS400 have the upgraded four piston calipers. 90-94 (UCF10) have two piston calipers that fit but are no better than the GS's original calipers. How to fit LS brakes has been covered ad infinitum here, and there is a pinned thread about it in the appropriate section of the forum. The rear brake calipers are not an upgrade.

Please ignore this guy ^^^^^^^^^... He didn't read your thread. Get the 1995-2000, 4 piston calipers or don't do it at all.

Yes we know what calipers you have in your pics... OP stated he had 1992 calipers and those are no good to the 2GS crowd.

Thank you both for your reply and after a 90 mile round trip found out that a 92 ls400 does only have two pot calippers the same as the standard gs300 so still on the hunt for the four pots and yes do know the subject has been covered quite a lot with great information regarding this upgrade
Thanks again

Might be a dumb question but does the 4 piston setup mess with the booster? Like more stress? Had a booster go out on my friends GS with the Supra TT setup.
