Lexus LS400 UCF10/UCF20 4Pot Brake on 6GC Options

[vincent_doggy]

First of all, my friend is having a set on his Vert, and the guy who set up this kit is my buddy.

Why we making this is the CELICA ST205 Calipers are too expensive and rare to find.

So we made something and seems worked.

I am not a technical guys at all, so couldn't provide any spec.

My buddy didn't mention any spec to me at all, he just let me see, touch and smell it.

4pot Caliper from a LS400
Stocked 315mm rotors from LS400 too, redrilled 5 x100 holes
Some modification on the Caliper
And a customized Caliper Bracket that allowed to fit the 315mm Rotors(Same size as ST205)
Paint
Stickers

Just let the Pics speak for itself

^except that the parts are far more available than the ST205 pieces.

and options are always nice.

parts for both calipers ( rebuilt parts / rebuilt kits ) are exactly the same, and options are good I agree, but let's look at options that are equal or easier to install, not the oposite.

4runner 4 piston calipers are the same as ST205 and I think they have the same mounting bracket so no custom bracket needed. same thing for supra 4 piston calipers. along with some other trucks / suvs. it's also fair to say that LExus LS did not come with 4 piston caliper standard as they did in Japan until the last few years so cost of the calipers in US is just as high as ST205 ones, and LS calipers need the same exact modification needed to fit ST205 but also require a custom bracket.
this is like adding a engine start buttom that still requires to put the key and turn. is just adding oen extra step to a proven and working process.
