Product details
Lexus GS430 owners with the 1998-2005 JZS161 chassis can fit this front slotted kit, which uses 3-piston Slimline calipers on 13.8 in two-piece slotted rotors. It is a front-only package, so the rear brakes are not part of it. The slotted face is what sets these rotors apart from the cross-drilled version.
The set comes with two Slimline calipers, two slotted rotors with aluminum center bells, and SC5 street brake pads. Each caliper is one-piece billet aluminum, and the Slimline design is described as a single-side piston caliper that suits limited wheel clearance. The rotors are two-piece with aluminum center bells.
Keep in mind that the OEM handbrake will not function with this kit. Confirm fitment with the year, make and model checker, and match part number BKLX050-342SO. Choose caliper color during configuration.
Supported features
A single-side piston caliper that keeps the styling of the multi-piston calipers while fitting behind wheels with limited clearance.
Extremely lightweight two-piece rotors — commonly up to 50% lighter than OEM rotors of the same size.
Calipers, floating brake discs, SC5 street pads, owner's manual, and all required hardware come standard.
CNC-machined carbon steel brackets let the calipers bolt to the OEM caliper bracket location.
Cross-drilled rotors run cooler for daily-driven vehicles; slotted rotors are recommended for more track use.
Standard painted orange, red, black, and yellow; premium high-polish silver, gold, and titanium; glassy and hard-anodized finishes; over 20,000 custom colors on request.

Installation
Bolt-on installation with the supplied brackets; no vehicle modification on most applications. After fitting, bed the pads in: on a clear road, ten light-to-medium stops from 30–45 mph, three seconds each, at least a quarter mile apart. Some noise before the brakes warm up is normal for big brake kits.
Brake system support and bed-in procedureWarranty & service
12-month limited warranty to the original purchaser against defects in materials and workmanship. Racing use, exterior finish and improperly installed or modified parts are not covered; keep your original invoice for any claim. Small surface cracks on cross-drilled rotors are normal wear and not a defect. Replacement pads, rotors, lines and hardware are sold individually.
