Default Drop it, and LS400 brakes.

So I got a lot done today. Installed new LS400 front calipers. Used the Megan Racinf 30mm RCA kit. I tell you this. It worked great. Very smooth install. Took about an hour(I do run a shop, so lift and all tools needed at my disposal). Since that lowered front about an inch, I Frankenstein my own rear struts. Take 06 IS250 rear struts and spring. Put GS300 top hats on and bam, rear lowered an inch with stock drive ability. (My shop is a Toyota/Lexus wrecking yard. I pulled almost every rear strut off almost all SC,GS,and IS in my yard to figure this out) So four hours later and bleeding brakes, she back on the road.
