1990 Lexus LS400 Brake Parts

Brakes are designed as a system and all the parts need to work together for best performance. Industry brake service experts agree – when brake friction materials are ready to be replaced, the hardware is too. A complete brake job that includes new hardware goes a long way toward preventing comebacks. Changing out your Rubber Pin Boot or Slider Bushing Kit will ensure the guide pins are clean and free from debris for smoother braking.

Product Features:

• This part matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications
• Easy and fast replacement
• Maintains proper movement for safe, effective stopping performance
• Prevents noise and premature wear

Brakes are designed as a system and all the parts need to work together for best performance. The boot and square cut seals included in our Caliper Repair Kit, ensure that the caliper works as designed during the apply and release cycle.

Product Features:

• This part matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications

New Brake Hardware – Back to like-new performance The WBR complete disc brake hardware kits provide everything you need to perform a complete the brake job and restore the brake system back to the optimal like new operating condition. Disc hardware can lose 50% of spring tension within 1-2 years, which can cause pads to stick, create uneven pad wear, and lead to unwanted brake noise.

Product Features:

• Reduced Brake Noise, comebacks and unsatisfied customers,
• Extends the life of a brake job,
• Improved fuel mileage, and
• Restores brakes to like new Performance. Effects of Corrosion, Heat, Stress, Use Rust and Corrosion on floating caliper slides or bushings can prevent the caliper from centering properly, which can
• reduce effective braking force
• cause uneven pad wear, and brake noise. Rubber Bushings lose there resiliency and become flattened from the torque of the braking system which can
• cause excessive caliper movement
• cause unwanted noise like rattles and thumps.

The TRW Premium brake pads are designed and manufacturing to original equipment specifications, assuring superior quality and fit. TRW has introduced Cotec – an innovative coating for its brake pads. Independent tests have proven that Cotec achieves significantly shorter stopping distances than the brake pads of major competitors or even OE, for the first stops after leaving a garage following a brake pad change. In the normal bedding in process there is a period, known as the green behavior of the pad, which occurs at the start of the bedding in process where the friction co-efficient is lower than usual. Drivers can find it difficult to adjust to the difference in performance during these first stops. TRW Cotec brake pads address this issue by improving the contact between the brake disc and pad. The friction material is the most important part of a brake pad. All TRW’s brake pads contain the optimum mix of raw materials from rubber to graphite. TRW has made a significant investment over the years to ensure that we have the perfect mix – and we make it in-house. The ingredients ensure a stable friction coefficient and the safest braking performance in all temperatures, at all speeds and under all conditions. The backing plates used by TRW are designed, patented and produced in-house to OE specification. They are fitted to the friction material with a unique adhesive compound which can withstand high temperatures and resists extremely high shear strengths. TRW places great emphasis on noise reduction and its brake pads are fitted with high quality shims which act as a damper between the friction material and the brake caliper. TRW friction components are not only tested in our NVH (noise vibration harshness) laboratories and also on the road.

Product Features:

• OE-Equivalent and Direct Fit application.
• Include the OE specified shims.
• Low noise and reduced vibrations.
