lexus082 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I looked at some of the posts relating to this, but it wasn't clear to me as to what the difference is between the Supra and the LS400 brake upgrade. Appreciate if someone could briefly tell me the difference between the two different calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soarerTT Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 i am 99% sure that the front calipers have the same performance (about the same as a ferrari F40) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate if someone could briefly tell me the difference between the two different calipers. ← I believe performance is similar. They look different. They are both big and heavy. ;) Here is what the calipers look like (just look at the shape and not the stickers): SupraTT: LS: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 is the rotor size different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomLee Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Per intellexual.net LS400: caliper weight - 9 lbs rotor diameter - 12.4 inches rotor thickness - 1.26 inches Supra: caliper weight - 15 lbs rotor diameter - 12.72 inches rotor thickness - 1.26 inches Personally...I'm not sure whether to trust the accuracy of the weights given. From the pictures...they both look like they are sized very similar (both are 4 piston calipers). The rotor diameters are close, and the thickness is the same. So I find it a little difficult to believe that there is a 6lb difference in weight. Not saying that this can't happen...but I'm not sure if I trust the info.

I had thought the front rotor for the LS was a tiny bit smaller but the rest looks about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueviol Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Thanks for the pics! The LS400 calipers look better to me. I recall that the stock dust covers need to be cut however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 yea thats right you can follow the tutorial that AWJ did but they are with the TT calipers, but basicly the same thing but with the LS calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
