I want to buy some SS brake lines as well. where do i buy this? I want all four but are the SS lines different if i do the LS400 brake upgrade with stock rear calipers? or are SS lines universal?

I found some on Ebay and typed in "sc430 ss brake line" will this fit on the ls400 caliper?? i guess i can buy the fronts seperately but i wanted to make sure if anyone had input on if it will fit or not?

don't shave....not recommended. why cant you just buy a front RCA kit to get the clearance?

the 2GS and the SC430 share the same suspension parts....its been discussed to death on the 2GS forum.

im hoping/thinking that I dont need to shave or modify anything with super brakes and rotors in the front running the 2IS wheels since the 350 came with bbk and that clears and the rims are the same on both the is250 and is350 (mine came off my 250). I just need to figure out how to confirm that without buying everything and just experimenting. Although I guess its not too big of a deal since I wanted to put spacers on both the front and rear to flush the wheels a bit.

if you running supra tt calipers....then there's no need for front RCA....but supra tt calipers are more pricey than ls400 calipers.

also, depending on your wheels, you may require spacers to push it out to avoid wheel face rubbing the calipers.

here's my ls400 calipers...

but your running stock wheels right? im running is250 wheels which have more clearance. I dont think they wil clear ls calipers but maybe supra.
