Ls430 Brakes > Is

[PhoneDrome]

Will the LS430 (2005) brakes fit a IS?

Which parts needs to be modified?

Will this be possible?

[Dave-Ellen]

All taken care of Andi

[PhoneDrome]

Could get my hands on a new LS430 (2005) complete front brake kit.

Price.... is very low....

I remember looking at this when Lexus Edinburgh were flogging a set of rear calipers for the IS. Turns out they're the same as on the GS and SC. Different part numbers for the LS though.

Spacer brackets.

PM Alex (JDM_Partsguru) he will sort you out :)

bit more than that required :winky:

[Mr Singh]

Maybe. Alex's done it more than few times anyway...

the pad area on the ls430 is not much bigger than the IS............you also need bigger rotors to make it all worth while

[Mr Singh]

Yup, Supra TTs would be ideal

[MrADeveci]

I'm a bit baffled reading this ........... I need new front discs and pads too ............ is it possible to fit the LS430's or no ? ............ :duh:

[Mr Singh]

You will need bigger rotors too mate.

Then yes u can fit them with the correct bracketry for the calipers...

Do search in IS300.net loads of peeps done it

it is.......

but you need special brackets made.

I suggest you hang on a while.........the prolex BBK will have all the gubbins and you can make an informed choice..............should be at JAE

[Monster-Mat]

the LS400 calipers fit relatively easy...the ls430 ones dont , they mount in a completely different manner than the is200/300/gs300/340 and LS400 calipers

[jdmparts_guru]

some pics of the LS430 on a GS. The GS is similar to the IS, although the mounting points are slightly different.

[Mr Singh]

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D

[Mr Morse]

Holy sH**

They look bigger than the kit so see on 911's :D

Where did you get the brackets from to mount the calipers and how much are the calipers?

[TheDon]

been told i need to probably get new calipers too, so need to weigh up the cost of either a re-build or something like this. they look the nuts!

Hi,

its a komplete Kit with BIG rotors. So I only need a adapter and a corrupt TUV-Engineer? Can't belive that.

Mat is saying that LS won't fit the IS. GS and IS Brakes are the same. Alex fitted LS brakes to the GS........ so it should be possible :duh: Or what?

Ehhhmm. I don't think that I will buy them. Price is veryvery low, so I should do it...but me likes a carbon bonnet much more

-----edit

I just heard that it is the front brake from 2005 LS430. Meaning this is much bigger than 2004. More like Porsche..

[Mr Singh]

how much is it :P

no mat said LS will fit, just nto LS430

[Monster-Mat]

nope i said LS430 Will fit, but are much harder due to the way they mount, an easier route is the earlier LS400 4 pot calipers

[Dave-Ellen]

Mine are being measured up as I type.........
