The description for the front and rear was written up on the same link. You just have to add the front and rear kit to the shopping cart separately

Any one have close up picture of these brakes? The one in the link is black and can't really see all the details.

these are basically the fsport brakes right? if so, they are from brembo. just look for ls460 fsport and you can see the big brakes. forgot the spec but i think they are 6 pot.

Henry...I thought the FSport brakes are blue. I know they can make a black one as well, just curious if these are the same one but in different color. So tempting.

nat, you are confusing between fsport accessories and fsport (factory option).

2is and 3gs there were fsport brakes that you can get from dealerships. they are for US only and yes they are blue. they are made by stoptech. i don't think they have it for the 4ls

but fsport trim from factory, that's different, meaning the cars from japan are already equipped with fsport tuning. the 2013 ls has the fsport trim from factory, and it has the brembo brakes.

you can read in my review

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/car...sport-awd.html

look for brembo brakes, you can see pics

on the 2010-2012, ls460 didn't have fsport but there was a ls460 sport. i can't recall exactly but i think they might have the brembo brakes too (and i think they were also in black)

I have seen 2010 sport model before and they do comes with the brembo 6 pistons brake. If we could get someone on here with a 10-up sport model to take a picture of their caliper that would help a lots.

I fully intend to replace my rotors with these when mine need to go. So far the car is on the original rotors at 72k miles. Any time I get warping the dealer resurfaces them and keeps telling me that its still not time to replace the rotors.

this is the only pic i have of the 2013



this is probably a shameless plug, but for anyone who has a regular ls460 (not touring, not sport, not fsport) and is interested, i have a full set of brakes off my 07 ls460l with only 2000 miles, including

2 front calipers and lines
1 set of factory pads
1 set of rotors

again, it only has 2000 miles. i want to start a pay it forward movement, and if anyone wants the brakes, you are free to take them. yes, FREE. they are quite heavy so i don't know if shipping makes sense. in turn, i just hope some day you have some spare parts and you are willing to pass it on to the next guy.

As a heads-up, you'll also need to purchase the Sport Calipers in conjunction with these rotors.

That's odd...in the description, it said that the "2 Calipers are included". I sent them an email requesting for additional information. I'll update if I hear back from Sewell.
