Default Stoopid question of the day: Can I use sc300 brake pads for LS400 brakes?

Well you see, I'm converting to the LS400 brakes and seems like the current ones I have on the SC300 are pretty new...so I would like to reuse it on the LS400 brakes. What's the verdict?

I don't believe so. I think they would be too small for the LS calipers.

1) Go to your favorite auto parts website
2) Look up the brake pad part numbers for the SC300
3) Look up the brake pad part numbers for the LS400
4) See if they match
5) Post results here

NO!

SC calipers are totally different compared to the LS400 calipers, pads are also totally different.
