The rears for the LS400 are 1 piston brakes we have on our SC...So there will be no point in changing those.....You may want to go with SUPRA TT rear brakes, I believe those are a bit larger....

wow that looks awesome, ok the big question here is how in the hell did you fit them in there because the big deal with those is that they are not a straight out swap as the supra's or the older LS ones.. just look at this and yall will know what Im talking about

You need (custom) brackets in order to fit these on a GS.

Installation:

It took me and Sleeper97 3 days to install these due to our busy weekend schedule but we were able to finish the job off tonight...

They are installed exactly like the SUPRA TT brakes....It is directly bolted on....

Instructions here (courtesy of Peter Scott & Co): Big brake install article

The hardest part of the install was cutting the dust shield off...It took me 20 minutes of hacking to get that thing out....

It is very important to bleed the brakes after installation..

Here are the pics:










Overall Review:

....I'm impressed by the performance...

The first time I drove the car with these brakes it gave me the chills. It was just stopping on the dime at every speed....It is a truly amazing mod for the money spent....

Aliga and Sleeper97 both have test drove the car, hopefully they can give their insight and review of these brakes as well...
