LS400 BBK questions on ebay auction
I've been interested in looking into new brakes for a while. My GS400 brakes well and the pads are in great shape but i believe the rotors are warped. Under certain braking conditions the pedal shakes a bit, but the steering wheel doesnt usually shake noticeably.
Will the difference from stock GS brakes in good condition and an LS400 BBK be noticeable? I found the front rotors and calipers on ebay for around $150 HERE and was wondering if that was all that would be needed for the upgrade? Well, along with pads.
Also, how easy is it to install? im not very handy but im trying to become better working on cars. How much would it cost for a mechanic to install the calipers?
Thanks everyone!

thanks for the reply GSteg. Unfortunately you answered all the questions previously answered with the reading i did do of prior threads. I was asking about the specific kit i linked to on ebay. It seemed like it had a few different parts included, and i was wondering if i would need anything else besides what the person was selling. For example, shims, or different bolts or anything else.
thanks for your speedy reply though.

thanks again GSteg. I obviously didnt win the kit on ebay (too bad, since it cost nearly nothing to have better brakes). ohh well, im on the lookout for some calipers now. 15mm spacers are needed for the stock 17" wheels or stock 16" wheels? I've got the 16"s for my winter wheels so hopefully they'll clear with some spacers?

16s will fit...just need 15mm spacer...and SAGE front RCA. If you have EXACT front RCA...then you need 17s.
