Default Brake shim kit and pad spacers help

I just bought some ls400 calipers to put on my is300 and the guy i bought them from didnt include the shim kit or pad spacers.

i believe theyre 1998 ls400 calipers and need part numbers or any kind of help.

Do i even need shims?

thanks

you need to order a "pad fitting kit" from lexus


you do realize that 2LS calipers will NOT just bolt on to your IS right? or are you planning on using Fig's Supra TT adapting kit?

Do i need the shim kit too? or just the pad fitting kit will be okay.

Yes im aware that they wont bolt onto the IS300 and it takes more then just the figs supra TT adapters to make it work. the caliper hits the back of the tie rod so you need figs RCA adapter.
