I've got the front LS400 calipers coming and now need to decide on pads. Which ones work well for the GS with these new bigger calipers? EBC greenstuff or redstuff? Akebono Pro Act Ceramics? Axxis MM or Delux pads? Let me know. Thanks!

if you get ebc, get green stuff.. the red stuff are not for the street, you won't be able to stop teh car at all when it's cold. not safe

for my stoptech i am using the axxis deluxe, very nice stuff

I do want to stop the car - so the redstuff is out! That's the whole idea with new brakes to make it stop

well don't get me wrong, once heated up the red stuff are are going to stop crazy, very aggressive. that's why they are for racing. but that's always the case for racing pads -- when they are cold, they are horrible

What pads are you currently using? If you are using the stock pads, then i would go for LS400 stock pads or Axxis Deluxe pads.

Axxis Ultimates will stop better, but will dust a lot and may squeel.

On my previous car i have used PORTERFILED brake pads, since i own Lexus again i was very happy that PORTERFILED makes pads for GS. I think Porterfield have 3 choices and i would go with R4-S which is right in a middle. If you are thinking about street performance these are great pads, but they are not good enough for track use, you'll burn them.
You can get them directly from their website, i'm pretty sure that prices are $119.00/front
and $79.00/rear + shipping. There is another way you can get them cheaper than that, $178.00 per set shipped from ebayer, i'll get you store info if you're intrested, oh btw pads are not so dusty as competition and from what i remember pads are CARBON/KEVLAR compound, awsome pads.

With the LS400 calipers I will need to run pads that fit the LS400. Do you know if Porterfiled mkes the R4-S pads to fit the LS400 caliper? I contacted Carbotech and they do not make pads to fit the LS400. They do make pads for the GS400. Let me know. Thanks, Scott

Yeah, i might make mistake with link, thanks for correction Rominl, it's not a big deal i guess

Scott1258

Thanks rominl - I looked and yes they do make pads for the LS400.

LEXSOOS

I think they do make them, call Jerry at ph# i provided above, from what i know if Porterfiled don't make them they have ability to fit any needs you have, visit Porterfiled website and get ph# they answer any questions you have, let us know about results.
I'm not trying make you buy Porterfiled brake pads, my tip for you is based uppon my personal expirience with this brand. Wish you luck searching
