Phase one is now complete. (pix)
Phase 1 = make it stop. (Now complete)
Phase 2 = make it go.
I would like to thank the various people who helped me complete phase 1.
Club Lexus for the huge repository of invaluable information.
Todd at TMengineering for the Stoptech gear.
Steve at Carson Toyota for the rear calipers (purchased at the LMS meet).
And Rominl and Neo for answering various questions.

Thank you.
I went as wide as I could safely go given the width of the rims.
