boostman Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I am gathering the bits to convert my jspec to ls400 4pots with all round Braided lines. I've bought new (remanufactured) calipers but there are no pad slider pins. My question is do these come with new pads? Iv looked online but can't seam to find any. Also any other advice for fitting these calipers? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Chris Wilson does pads for these, personally I'd use those with stock LS400 discs. You can use the Supra bolts for them, but the LS400 ones are the right length IIRC and they're the recommended ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also any other advice for fitting these calipers? Thanks I discovered after owning my car for a few months that the front Calipers were the LS400 ones. Just double check the wheel fitment when you put them on, the old wheels that my car had were fitted with 10mm spacers as the offset of the wheel was making the back of the spokes hit the Calipers. Other than that, they are nice light calipers, standard hoses fit ok too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooty Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I have done this conversion to mine. When I bought new pads they didn't come with new brake pad slider pins. Pretty easy to fit, you will need the caliper bolts though from an LS400 as they are slightly shorter if I remember correctly. Also maybe the banjo bolts for the brake lines. One of mine fit fine without any shaving however I did have to take a small notch off the other as it wouldn't line up with the bolt holes. I hope that helps.

boostman Posted August 3, 2016 Author Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks for the advice, I'll get some pins separately. Good find David! Richie, did you have standard length studs with 10mm spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
