Humm... Retrofitting the LX570/Landcruiser 200 series rotors and and calibers may require quite a bit of fabricating considering that the mounting for the calibers will have to sit further out from the center of the hub. This will increase torque leverage the further the caliber hangs out there.I don't know much about this brake kit, as I haven't convinced myself that it is worth it to spend the money to upgrade the calipers. However, the web site does say that the new calipers allow you to use thicker discs, which will help with heat dissipation. From my experience, aftermarket brake calipers are always expensive because of the engineering, development, and testing involved. Brakes are a safety item, so I would hope a manufacturer conducts sufficient lifetime testing prior to release to the public.
I would be interested to see if calipers from an LX570 would be an upgrade over ours, as they would fit a larger-diameter brake rotor. Unfortunately, they may also necessitate an 18" wheel to provide sufficient clearance.
