What year is your LS400 (Celsior) David? The stock brakes sure look small on that but if anyone would need to upgrade their brakes it'd be you I've got the later model 4 pot Celsior brakes on my Soarer.

I just saw some front Supra 4 pots with slotted disks on supraforums for a grand if anyone's interested.

Tom, what are you on about? Your last post was pretty meaningless, especially in the context of the posts by David, Simon and Damien. If you can get a full set of rotors, calipers and pads in good nick for $150 then I am very happy for you and if you can propose where it might be done for others then that would be a fantastic service but if you are just crapping on about yourself then shut up.

I am not and have never sold any brake parts.

First no need it get on your high horse im just having a bad day after watching my pride and joy roll down the farkin driveway into my neighbours yard. No hard feelings were meant by this at all, I guess i was lucky that the local wreckers had a soarer front cut in their yard as for crapping on about myself isnt the whole idea about this forum to help others???

Sorry to hear about your car Tom. Hope it is OK because we all like Soarers.

Yes, it is about helping others. Clearly, I was implying that you were not. There are some very experienced people talking about prices above and you were, if not intentionally, suggesting they were rip-off merchants. Like I said, if you have good info on where and how people can get a good deal, we are eager to hear it. If you had a stroke of fortune, that is great but that does not automatically make other sellers into over-chargers.
That was all.

Ian, as soon as the new discs arrive, that weekend will be spent attaching them to the car, and the calipers, pads and old rotors will be available.

I will also have a set of OEM JZA80 discs for sale at that time.

U can pick up good deals from supra guys upgrading their brake system. You also need to becareful that those calipers are in good working order.

Personally i would like to get them brand new and no more worry. Also make sure your have at leat 17" rims with good clearance. I would highly suggest u try your current rim into someone with this upgrade. I have many friends interested in the upgrade but rims didnt work.

I also have seen EVO VIII brake kit on Celsior. However, its not bolt on.

The rears are the same as TT rears and the fronts are usually available on Yahoo... here's a bargain set:

Although these look like they're in better nick and have more meat on the pads:

Speak to Jeff Harper about getting stuff off Yahoo and I got RDA slotted rotors for $136 each locally. Stock pads are only $100 a set from Toyota too.
