  1. :) :) :) @ risingsun ! if you have a LS400 UCF20 model (264 hp, from 1995 - 1997) then I can supply you with the parts needed. ask your friendly Lexus dealer for his friendly prices and then offer me the amount you would like to pay. with Lexus regards Mike :) :) :)
  2. -------- -------- Hello LS 400 owners ! I own a 1992 LS400 since over 10 years (I bought it with 18.000 km - about 11.000 miles) and I experienced the same problem with the brakes. Because the first edition of the LS400 from 1989 to 1992 has been designed for the USA-market only, the brake-system is not suitable for Europe. Well, if you drive like the Americans - max. speed 60 miles per hour - then it is suitable. But since most of us like to put the hammer down on the highway, we have real problems with this brake-system. So I checked, which car on the market has the best brake-system of them all and came up with the Porsche 911 Turbo. I bought the front brake-system of a 911 Turbo in the hottest version: the 911 Turbo GT2. Then I had all the necessary pieces made to adapt this brake system to the LS400. It took one whole week working on the lasted numerical control machines and on a technical PC to develop all pieces, then test them on the car, go back to developing work, go back to machine new pieces, and so on ..... All made of the finest aluminium. Topped it off with stainless steel brake lines. And since then I own the best braking LS400/LS430 in the world. Should I ever have to replace any part (pads, calipers, discs,....) - I just drive to the next Porsche dealer and have the parts installed. But until now I never had to replace anything, not even the pads (I have now 101.000 km on my car, which equals about 63.000 miles). Of course this whole procedure was VERY expensive, but it was worth while. I enjoy braking now and the car stops in an incredible short distance ! I remain with LEXUS - regards Mike -------- --------
