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):

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?
