98 LS400 Parking Brake
Can someone confirm me the centric/OE brand equivalent part number for 98 LS400 parking brake and hardware?
I am considering to replace mine with rotors but little to no information. Centric listed in RockAuto got bad reviews in amazon for the same part number not sure they are LS400 compatible so someone please chime in here.

Do you happen to know the part number of the item? I am not buying OE lexus but looking for something equivalent. I am considering Centric/Bendex/all those daily driver brands but just needs to make sure that it fits properly.

As long as you aren't buying cheap Chinese parts the odds of getting something that doesn't fit properly is extremely rare. If you're still concerned buy from a local parts store like NAPA, stay away from Autozone, and if it's not right you can easily return. Were only taking about 20 bucks so no need to over think it...

Time and energy involved in the transaction as well. Might sound cynical but hey do it once, right

there are only two options I found in rockauto for the parking brake:
CENTRIC 11844028 Drum Brake Hardware
WAGNER H17267 {#F142609, H17531}
don't be confused with brake "pads" which are different from parking brake "shoes" on these cars.
there is a traditional drum brake within the rear rotor itself which uses brake shoes.
the parking brake uses this!
to billy's point, the parking brakes hardly need replacing despite high miles.
I just did the rear brakes on my IS250 (185k miles, same braking system as the LS) and the braking shoes had a lot of meat left in it, but the pads had <1mm left!

What you have posted is brake hardware. I have ordered centric brake shoes and hardware
As well as Beck brake shoes as well.i read a lot of complaints about the brake shoes not fitting right so I just got the other one as back up incase if something screws up.
I have ordered and got the Akebono rears as well.
If someone is following me on my brake job requests, I skipped the brembo blanks for rear and went with Centric from RockAuto (non CRY). They're considerable expensive than brembo blanks but again brembo specs doesn't appear to match OE rotors dimensions.
