you can order the entire ls400 upgrade kit for cheaper than parting it together at silver mine motors
it's selling for $420 right now.

Centric no longer paints the caliper
The last caliper i bought from them didnt come painted nor with the supra sticker
My wholeasaler checked every warehouse in the state and couldnt find one pianted

I had to paint the last one.....it doesnt match the front

 

$420.00 is a steal for BBK.

 

IDK about a steal. I got my LS400 calipers and pads for $100. add in the rotors and brake lines for roughly 200 (at least for me) and thats 300+shipping for the whole set. 420 is a good price, but i wouldnt call it a steal.

 

OK. Show me where I can get that deal right now and other members too, not just some lucky one time "steal".

Yes you got a great deal ok, but lets see if that is an everyday price with parts readily available to our members here.

Thank you

 

so do these brake upgrades get rid of the spongy, grabby feeling brakes I've heard about with our cars ? mine included, I hate my brakes

 

I just had a complete professional brake job front & back with OEM pads and had the brake fluid completely flushed out and replaced.

Huge improvement! Brakes are perfect! No sponge, no grab. perfect!

Much cheaper than upgrading, but if you got the dough for the upgrade, go for it! I would!

Keep in mind, you might need to upgrade your wheels too! BBK will not fit just any wheels.

 

Which calipers are you guys using for the LS400 calipers Nugeon, Sumitomo? Does it mater?
Has anyone bought calipers online and sent them there OEM calipers back in exchange with success?

 

Lol, i just did mine recently and got Sumitomo brand calipers, and returned my old ones for the core charge. Made for one super cheap brake upgrade.

 

Where did you end up getting your calipers?

 

Any auto parts place and i mean any parts place
Centric makes the remanufactured kit for the BBK.

 

so for the ls400 conversion you need

95-00 ls400 calipers (new pads and shim kits ect ect..)
95-00 ls400 rotors (these have the 114.3x5 and fit?)
and if upgrading to SS lines, do you get them for the sc or the ls?

 

I just happened to pick up a set of LS calipers with barely used pads yesterday at a junk yard for just under $40. YES, UNDER $40.00! That was with the core charge on both - the pricing broke down as follows:
Brake Caliper - $11.99 (each + Sales Tax)
Core Charge - ($2.99 each + Sales Tax).

So my total price was $38.xx!!!!

 

SO... I was looking around, and found a ridiculous deal, after core of course, but just thought I'd share/confirm
these are correct. After core, about $220 for fr/rr Supra TT Calipers.

Edit: Oh btw, these too. Little bit pricier.

 

Glad to see people are finding good deals.. As I have been told, the centric supra TT calipers are no where to be found now.. No more exist.
