I went with Rad Rubber's offering, nice kit, includes all new plastic retainers, even through in a beer coozie and some stickers! Install was super easy, please excuse the mess, I didn't make it to the carwash before taking this on, lol.


Looks good!

I need to replace ours as well.

God Bless,

Brought my "new to me" 2008 GX home from the dealer!

Time to begin the underside clean up and get to know my GX!

Upgrade to GX 460 calipers, rotors and pads…and stainless steel hoses….stops like a car…less heat to seize calipers.

Which years of the GX460 swap onto the GX470? full pad/rotor/caliper swap? Any mods to the GX470 required?

Possibly? I replaced like 4 of them before I switched to GX460 front calipers.

I have never seized a caliper on the GX. I do need to swap out my brake lines. At 210K miles and still on the stock lines. Any suggestions?
