i dont think so, from what i know, but i can be wrong. the is300 wheel spoke design seems to be too inward to make a bbk fit.

did anyone end up using the stock sc brake lines into the ls400 brakes? i end up using mine but the screws... screws into the calipers but however the side piece next to the screw does not line up with calipers is it still safe to use the stock sc brake lines?

Did you have new rotors/pads? I suggest you break them in first before braking hard... Did you bleed the lines properly?

Must be the anti-lock brakes working then. I have SS lines but its not as hard as what I was hoping it to be. Overall, its definitely a good upgrade.
