ive been looking but no answers found
when putting these on the SC do i need to change brake lines as well?
i have SS and x drilled so i want to know if i need to change.

 

you can reuse the lines

 

Just make sure you get LS400 caliper bolts as the one for the SCs are too long. Dont go with the washer method. Spend the extra $6 and do it right. Washers will end up costing you money anyways.

 

a pretty simple install.

 

Since your gonna have to bleed the system, might as well get some SS lines.

 

i didnt have to bleed mine...

 

Then you have air in the lines. I'd bleed all 4 corners if you didn't do so.

 

yea i was planning on doing a full bleed but been busy and car stops perfectly fine haha....

 

Bleed your brakes. My car felt 'okay' when I went for a test drive, but I bleed the brakes again for the 2nd time and boy did it make a difference in pedal feel and travel. There were still air coming out of the bleeder bolt. I'm going to bleed it again next week. After driving the car for awhile, the air inside the caliper (if any) will get hot and rise up to the bleeder bolt.

 

I'd also suggest getting speedbleeders, makes bleeding go by so fast.

 

I have a speedbleeder..it's call my little sister

 

lol...

 

you need LS4 Rotors! Sc rotor will not work!

 

I'm planning on going with the LS400 brakes soon, and from my research I've found you need the LS calipers, LS rotors, LS caliper bolts, brakes pads, brake fluid, and you would have to modify the dust shield by bending or removing it.

Has anyone put the LS brakes behind the 97+ 5 spoke sc wheels?

 

I'm ready to pull the trigger ASAP on this project myself, especially after reading a multi-page thread over on SF about its benefits. My main problem right now is finding a source for the LS calipers, bolts and pads. I've identified a known source for stainless steel brake lines, and another for high performance LS rotors.

Any tips/hints on sources?
