I am looking at doing the LS400 caliper and rotor upgrade in the front and want to know what people are doing to the rears?

Just leave it alone?

Get new drilled/slotted SC rotors?

What are all my options?


I am planning on going with the drilled and slotted rotors up front and painting the calipers, so I want to do something to the back too. Just want to hear all the viable options.

Thanks!

If you're getting drilled/slotted up front, I'd say do the same for the rears. I'm using iRotors brand drilled/slotted rotors right now and they work/look great.

Don't forget to get SS lines for it as well.

I also have LS400 fronts but Supra TT rears.

are the TT or LS better for the fronts?

please search for stuff like this.

The TT and LS front calipers are both four piston. The TT calipers weigh 6lbs more, but the rotors are 12.72" as oppossed to 12.4". So, the LS calipers are slightly less authoritative as a product of their rotor size, but they are significantly less expensive. Good luck doing the TT upgrade for $500. The LS upgrade can be done for $300 no problem. In either case, braking will be significantly improved, and the difference between the two set ups will only be utilized by the most aggressive drivers out there.

In the rear, I believe the LS brakes are still just one piston, but the TT brakes are two piston. The Supra rear brakes are not terribly expensive either, and they are a solid upgrade. That being said, doing just the front brakes is not the end of the world as that is where the majority of the braking power is distributed.

What would I need to do to upgrade to the TT rears with the LS fronts?

What parts would I need?

Where is the best place to shop for such items (the TT Rears)?

Do they just bolt right up (the TT Rears)?


Thanks everyone!!

To be honest the best place to buy you brake upgrade would be on this forum, I got my LS upgrade for 220 from another CL member. If you try to go t a dealership you will pay 300+ for each caliper!

I know. That is the plan.

If you recheck my post, I am asking about the TT Rears and where to get those? Thanks for the help tho!

Supraforums would be where I would go first.

I have also seen these calipers on ebay on occassion for good deals.

In either case, make sure you are getting TT rears and the NA rears are no upgrade at all.

Thanks for the advice Blizzy!
