Default LS430 Monoblock calipers on a LS400

Has anyone taken the monoblock calipers and larger front disks from an LS430 and put them on a 95-00LS?

Welcome to CL!

This may be somewhere with one of the searches. My vague recollection, is that the '95-00 have nearly the same sized rotor as the UCF 30/31 and both generations have a 4 piston caliper. If the 430 has a larger rotor, it would require fabbing up of a bracket to met the additional diameter and then there may be other suspension clearance issues.

Unfortunately unlike past Toyota's, the interchangeability from various models is becoming limited.

Why, what do you think you will gain ?

The UCF20/LS400 already has 4-pot calipers, so gain is minimal.
