Now if you've not seen what an impressive caliper

this then Google Lexus LS430 monoblock, some people

say they are better than similar sized Brembo's and being

monoblock look a bit different in a good way!

 

Also seem to very popular as a Porsche upgrade:

I bought a set about a year ago, made all the enquiries with

Freakyparts, (big brake specialist), to get them fitted on my Toyota Estima but didn't get the chance to do it.

 

I am.now thinking to send Freakyparts a Zed hub, the LS430 calipers, and either a Skyline R33 GTR / 350Z brake disc or perhaps even a 355mm 370Z brake disc to get the adaptors made.

 

The other nice thing about these calipers is they are very light and made by Sumitomo who made the original Zed calipers.

 

Would anyone be interested in this upgrade, and also what size

disc would you want?

Best of luck :thumbup1:

I’ve 4 different setups available

Thanks:), what discs did you use? BTW are those AMG Brembo's? look huge!!

This what a brake guy said about the LS430's:

 

"Now that I'm in the brake repair business I've seen alot of different brakes systems up close and seen how they wear, last, and perform. The best factory brake system I've seen is on the Lexus LS430's. Lexus uses Brembo for their brake systems, they are HUGE, aluminum monoblock design, and feature a fixed 4-piston set-up. They offer tremendous swept area, and will straddle a 13.5x1.25" wide rotor (LS1, C5's) and the only concern I have is wheel clearance (they are REALLY HUGE). I'm ordering a set next week to "experiment" with!!!!!"

Yup, AMG 8 pots with 355mm discs.

I’ve Brembo 18z with the same also

 

Very impressive:) are you running 370Z discs?
