all i know is that i need ls400 brakes in my life lol........ i have to figure something out..... is there such thing as a big brake kit the will clear low disk rims? if anything.... ill rebuild my front lips with a 1/2 in smaller lip and throw wheel spacer and call it a day....... but i would prefer to just get a big brake kit that clears low disks ( if there is such a thing lol)

Car's looking great man. For the BBK, many of the aftermarket brands have better clearance than the LS400 brakes. The calipers on aftermarket brakes are thinner and don't protrude out as much. I have a set of Stoptech and they clear a lot of wheels that won't fit other BBK. Only problem is that they are a bit $$$ lol. I'm actually thinking about selling my brakes and upgrading soon though. 800hp is a lot of power and that calls for bigger brakes
