LS400 Calipers have arrived..I opted to get rebuilt calipers...Rotors and pads should be here by the weekend.....Hint...Hint....These will look good in gold....

The LS400 Calipers are a lot bigger in person than I thought....Which is a good thing because I need the extra stopping power now...

Test fit with the BBS LM reps 18x10 +25 on 275/35/18......Once I get coils it should give me a little bit of negative camber.... Should be pretty flush then..

Looks good. On my calipers when I was done with paint and applied the sticker, I then applied a bunch of thin coats of clear so the stickers have something over them protecting them as well. It did create a small amount of orange peal adding the clear, but I think it'll help longevity. Anyhow just a thought for ya to consider, looks great though.
