Since I do a lot of mountain driving and the LC250 lacks engine braking, I wanted to get a little bigger rotor with more mass. I was hoping Toyota was going to have off the shelf, bolt-on parts like they have in the past and after doing my research, they do. The GX550 has the brakes I wanted.
All that is required are the rotors and calipers, they bolt on and require no other modifications. 18" wheels might be required, I have TRD Pro wheels from the Tundra.
47730-60480 brake caliper front right
47750-60480 brake caliper front left
43512-60291 Disc Front
LC250 backing plates look like they were made for the larger rotors. Brake lines and brake pads are the same between both models.
Dimensional differences: 250-series, GX550
- Rotor diameter: 340mm, 354mm
- Rotor total thickness: 32mm, 32mm
- Rotor wall thickness: 7.6mm, 8.9mm
- Rotor weight: 21.6lbs, 25lbs
The rotors match the size from later model years of the 200 series.
I used Hawk LTS pads
I bedded the brake pads in and noticed the increased braking power. Which should be 5% more brake power and 15% more thermal capacity.
I'll update this thread after some more driving.
