Default Show me your Ls400 brake setup

Show me your ls400 setup. I see alot of different tread out there showing their setup but maybe we can all keep it in one tread you know. I'm planning to do this soon too. Thx

I have done this mod will get you some pictures when i get back to the house, pretty easy to do though. Biggest issue i ran into with it was i a running stock wheels with no offset.. so this means i had to add 1/2'' spacers and since i added thoughs i had to get new stud's so is300 arp wheels studs.. and don't forget to go to a dealer and get the correct caliber bolts the ones for the ls400 are shorter than the sc300.

I basically painted mine flat black and then used high temp clear. No spacers required on the front, using G35 Rays, 19's.

I can't find these brakes anywhere at my local junkyards

Autozone, buy rebuilt LS calipers and give in your OEM SC calipers, they never look at the calipers to cross reference to if they are the same lol

Do front LS400 brakes fit with the stock wheels?
Looking to buy some for my dad for Christmas, but it'll be pointless if he can't fit his winter wheels over 'em.

These stockers are the ones I'm talking about

Highly doubt the stock 15"s will fit over them. I've only ever had 18s and 19s over mine

That's a shame. He has 17s as well, but it's his only car so he uses his stock wheels + snow tires in the winter time.
It just wouldn't be practical to change both the brakes and the wheels when winter comes lol
