Advice on LS400 brakes

Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
