GDB3226 for the Lucas/TRW.
04465-50070 O.E.M. Toyota.

Lucas/TRW are arguably the best value for money pad you could possibly fit to a large cruiser.

If you are using the pad wear indicators, you may also need some new ones

Thanks Aaron...I don't suppose you would have similar details for after market slotted rotors and OEM details for them????

GD7207- this is from the EBC parts catalogue: exact same item as RDA7517. SO go to a RDA or EBC reseller and quote that number for 314mm rotors to suit 1995 LS400.
They are a bit fugly though, but look good once the passivation wears off (coupla days):

For DBA resellers , quote p/n 745. Dont think they do slotted though

Other slotted stuff can be bought on eBay (US) for cheap but the freight is a total killer.

I actually the plain rotors. I couldn't justify the extra price for the slotted version, espcially with the 'full face' wheels I have.

My four pots came rebuilt from rockauto in the USA, fully loaded with new shims, pins, banjos and new pads too, for $400au.

I went straight to the brake shop and ordered the Lucas pads, having had a lot of good experiences with them on the soarer and the benz.

What can I say, I had rather poor condition 2 pistons before i swapped to four potters, so the change was naturally, out of this world!

But a year later, they still shed speed a lot quicker, easily finding the limits of your tyres.

I did use the RDA dimpled and grooved rotors on the soarer with Supra 4 pots some years ago. No issues, and a massive improvement over the 296mm TT factory rotors and 2 piston calipers- and in this case, the pads were TRW, good fluid, and SS brake lines, so you good say the 2 pots were in bloody condition.

Id expect that if your current 2 piston brake setup is in top condition, you would notice a good improvememnt with the 4 piston upgrade. More sore if you were to.....'track' the celsior?

Hehe, Celsior Lap Sprints, haha!
