Hello Drew, hope you're doing well since we last spoke. Any updates on the headlight situation?

Seller agreed to refund the money. Still waiting for it to clear thru Paypal. Should work out OK. Still on the market for some SD headlights though, bummer...

Been getting lucky in the classifieds... I told myself I couldn't buy anything "new" for the car, major parts that is... Just scored some KYB GR2s and a TRD front STB.

Still needs some DF210s and some RCAs. Should be able to call it quits for a while after I pick those up. Can't wait to start getting this stuff put on. Too bad it's too darn cold here in the Midwest to be out in the garage...

there was some 18mm RCAs in the classifieds also. looks like your time of the month for parts lol. parts like this don't come around often . that lower TRD bar is tempting. I need rear brakes first .

Trying to work out a deal with the member selling the 18mm FIGs RCAs now. Hope to be crossing those off the list soon too!

Just wish that another set of SD headlights would pop up! Such a tease to have a set in my possession...

I started rebuilding the LS400 calipers yesterday. Pretty straightforward process, if anyone has any questions on how to do it just let me know.

Before any sort of cleaning. Beginning to tear them down.




Rebuild kits/materials...



Pistons out...




Yuck...




I also received my calipers and pads from R1 concepts. They look good. Should fill up the wheel area very nicely.



I think I'm going to paint them gloss black. I ordered some "TRD" stickers off of eBay to put on them. I'm going to have gunmetal(ish) colored wheels. So I dont want to do anything too flashy with the brakes, either red or most likely black. Any thoughts/input on brake colors?

I'm a big fan of having the brakes "pop" behind the wheel. black tends to get " lost" in the wheel IMO but what ever you do I'm sure will look great. did you end up getting those sways from joe?
