So the LS460 is getting some new brakes
So the LS460 is getting some new brakes
I got so bored of it that I started looking for a new car. I looked at Audi',s Merc's and even a Bentley Flying Spur. But nothing had any advantage over the LS460 that would make me chop it in and throw £20k+ at the dealer.
So instead I got some new brakes...

I could have got them in any colour with etched logos, but I decided to go low-key instead.
I've also got a new set of front wheel hubs, just in case those are warped or knackered.
Fingers crossed it'll be the end of my braking issues.
Since owning my LS460 I've had nothing but issues with warped rotors. I've had them skimmed, replaced, different makes fitted, different pads...etc and it has always returned.

You can also choose blank, slotted, drilled or slotted + drilled for no extra, and pick any colour to have the callipers anodised.
I was worried about being the mule for using these on the LS460, but they showed me a few USA LS460's that had them fitted so it seemed worth a punt.
They are actually from eBay - a company called PB Brakes. For £1100 you get 6 pot callipers, the rotors I pictured, pads, braided brake lines and all the fitting kit.

jimxms 4.2KG for the Callipers
10.2kg for the Rotors.
Might not be totally accurate on the rotors as I had to use the bathroom scales - kitchen ones wouldn't go that high.
Thanks for that, now all I need to do is weigh the standard IS250 ones. :thumbup1:
