Hi All,

I have a set of used front & rear calipers with OEM pads from a 97 Lexus LS400. These were intended for one of my upgrade mods but came to find out that they don't fit on my 1st Gen. Therefore, I would like to put these up for sale in the amount of $275. Here are some pictures:





I'm in San Diego area, you can either PM me or contact me at (619) 817-5840. Thanks for looking !

Any reasonable offer?

 

See if the moderators will move this to the SC forum for you, or if you can post it there additionally. The SC guys like these as an upgrade.

 

Thanks buddy for the advice and a free bump!

 

Are you willing to part out just the fronts without the pads?

I have been wanting to upgrade my NA brakes....

Thanks.

 

SeoulMan24 - Thanks for your interest, but I prefer to sell the whole set.

 

You do realize that those front calipers will bolt straight on to your first gen ?

 

Richonenz - Please define "bolt straight on". These are not direct bolt on without some type of modifications. You have to either shave the bolt and/or the caliper in order for these to fit. The other option would be to purchase the RCA, which there are no local vendors selling these for the 1st Gen GS300.

 

I have these same calipers on my first gen , the calipers do bolt straight on but you do need to also change the lower ball joint , the earlier units actually have a step up on them and this is what the caliper fouls on , the 95 and later lower ball joints come out flat and then you have the clearance you need , cost?
About $90.00 per pair .
The other consideration is that the locating spigot for the wheels and disc on 4 spot models jumps from 60 mm to 62 mm , so when you go to fit the later bigger disc's to go with the caliper the centre hole is 2 mm bigger , it would be quite fine to use the two locating screws to centre the disc as it gets clamped when you bolt the wheel up , but seeing as I had wheel locating spigots anyway I just machined up some new ones with a lip to locate the disc on as well .
Really not an issue but I thought I'd mention it .

 

Thanks Rich for your advices. Now, if only I can find a trained mechanic in San Diego area who can installed these calipers for me.

 

Any 1/2 decent mechanic should be able to replace a lower ball joint , remove and replace a caliper with another that bolts straight on with the same bolts and fit a new disc and then bleed the brakes .

 

Price has been lowered, I need to have this set sold. Thanks!

 

to the top!

 

you might want to have a mod move this into either the GS or SC classifieds, they love these brakes

 

Actually, I've also listed this kit for sale in the SC classified as well, but no lucks yet ! Thanks for your advice and a free bump !
