has anyone tried ls400 rear brakes on their sc300/400? will they even fit? if they fit how much of an improvement are they over our stock rear brakes?

will it fit? No!

have i personally tried? No!

how do i know? the supra (n/a and tt) rears do not bolt onto the LS, but do bolt on the SC (as well as the 1st gen GS). use deductive reasoning...

Whoa, something is not right here.

I thought LS400 brakes were 2 piston? And that they were direct bolt on for the SC? Apparently they make a world of difference.

Edit: Sorry, missed the "rear" part. But it is true for the fronts though right?

I was also wondering this one, but I decided to just get new pads and rotors in the rear when I was doing the LS front calipers and rotors.

almost correct, any LS with a build date before 08/90 came from the factory with 1 piston fronts
