Well, winter is almost gone...almost.
Long weekend here, so I had a chance to finally do the front brake conversion.
With a little luck and an air hammer, it went fairly smooth, with the exception of the front rim spokes not clearing the caliper (fml)
Luckily had some 3mm spacers and doubled them up on the front. Will be working towards a permanent solution.

I was afraid someone was going to ask that lol I ordered a bunch from all over the globe via eBay.
The ones that actually made it onto the calipers are actually a combo of two different purchases.
This is the one for the "Lexus": https://www.ebay.ca/itm/LEXUS-HIGH-T...72.m2749.l2649
This is the one for the "F Sport": https://www.ebay.ca/itm/8-X-F-Sport-...72.m2749.l2649
The "F Sport" one had a "Lexus" written below it, but I cut it out.

Can you take a side picture of the front wheel with spacers? I'm curious on how flush it will make a 8.5 wheel to the fender. I'm debating to add a 10mm spacer to my 19x8.5 ET 35 wheel with Swift springs.

Here are 3 pics i took...the weather is crappy outside, so i tried to get them inside.
The top of the wheel is tucked and I'm running about -1.4 camber in the front. The bottom of the wheel is obviously sticking out as you can see the rubber.
The outside edge of the rubber is pretty much inline with the edge of the lip spoiler.
This is what a 35 offset looks like with 6mm spacer.

I haven't gotten the rebuild kit yet, but I will get it from Lexus.
Unfortunately winter isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so I'm not in a rush.
I looked around at aftermarket rebuild kits, and pricing, and to be honest, based on price and piece of mind, the dealer kit prevailed as the best choice...and realistically not expensive at all considering how many pieces it contains.

Since I did the brake upgrade on the front to the 350 calipers, my old winter wheels had to go to a new home...thanks to Jza for giving them a new place to live!
Found some 2IS 350 rims for next year and had them powdercoated black...they were pretty nasty with corrosion.
17X8 with 225/45/17

Shipment arrived from Japan today 
Kics Leggdura Racing 2 piece wheel nuts. Now just need to carve out some time to install them.
The set also includes a wheel lock for each wheel in the 20 pieces.
