  1. I changed front windshield for my 02 Ls430 2 years ago with PPG glass for less than $200 in front of my house. It had the rains sensor and the tint and you cannot tell from OEM.

    I did not notice more wind noise and the tint is exactly the same. I just could not justify paying Lexus dealer $1200 for similar product.

  2. Just buy a new set of rotors it is relatively cheap for aftermarket ones.

    The rear rotors diameter is smaller but it has a larger hub to hold the parking brake . While the front one is larger diameter as it does most of the braking.

    Thanks guys, great help.

  3. Is there any difference between front and back rotors?

    Or I have a set of front rotors, can I install it in the rear wheels?

    Thanks

    The brake rotors are completely different front to back. They are different diameters, and the rear brakes have an integral brake drum for the parking brake.

    Thanks my friend.

    One more question, can the rear rotors be resurfaced.

  4. I just did my front rotors and breaks and I am a beginner. I bought the breaker bar 1/2" from Wal-mart for $14 and set of sockets that fit the breaker bar bit size for another $14.

    When you losen the 17mm bolts turn the steering wheel all the way to the direction that will make your breaker bar usable and not interefering with the body of the car. You can use a 3/4" pvc pipe around the breaker bar stem to give you extra leverage by lengthening the stem. It should be easy to remove that way.

    good luck. :)

  5. :cheers: 1990 lS400 170,000 miles

    2002 LS430 60,000 miles.

    Engine and Transmission on the 90 feel new. The car has a leaking Rack and Pinion and thats about it. The repairs I have done:

    $3000 A/C

    and the rest of the items were all normal wear and tear such as brakes, fluids, ball joints and CV boot rubber. I had the car since 120,000 miles and plan on keeping it till it dies.
