BIG Brakes on my LEXUS! (LS400 brakes on GS400)

MY STORE: https://forward-momentum.printify.me/ My IG:   / yt.fwd.m   On this episode I'll walk you through all the steps to install a big brake kit (BBK) on your 2nd gen GS. Instructions may be similar on other models as well. While the LS400 BBK is perhaps the most economical and most popular on the 2GS, there are other options as well. These steps will assist you with the installation of pretty much any BBK.
