Default Ls400 big brake upgrade

So I’m machining my own Roll Center Adjusters, what’s the minimum/recommended height to clear the big brakes? Also what stainless lines do I get, GS ones, LS ones, any adapters for the lines? I couldn’t find those specific answers anywhere.

I have sage 30mm RCA on stock suspension and it gave me a 1 inch drop in the front. I just used my brake lines on my car. They connected with no problem

???

There are two threads in the Suspension & Brakes forum that explain everything.

I don't know what caliper adapter inserts you're talking about, but LS400 brakes literally bolt right on.
