Whoooo hoooo (LS400 Calipers)
Well, I installed all the rotors and the brake lines last night but could not finish so I left them on stands and finished the next day. Fresh fluid on the lines too 
Here are some pictures. I did have to grind the caliper a bit for the lower bolt to line up properly.

Norwalk, CA... Bleeder kit kinda has a leak. I taped it up with teflon (temporarily) but still leaking. I need to cut the hose and change it.... But really tho, sorry i can't. I don't like tools leaving my garage. I usually have friends over for them to work on their cars tho and they chip in a few change for borrowing my tools
its all good. norwalk is a little far for me. im in fresno, ca. i'll post my pics up when im done as well. front tt set up only cost me $341! calipers($186 via napa) rotors and pads($155 via autozone). i almost sharted myself when i discovered this. by the way, are you runing the technafit ss brake lines or goodridge?
Technafit...... it sucks tho.. It is the exact same lenght but they should have made it at least an inch longer since it does not stretch... I'll get one made when I get a chance.
Got some request of how much my caliper cleared my wheels so I decided to take some pix showing so.
Wheel spec
20x8.5 +40 offset (no spacers). Got lucky it cleared my 98 LS400 calipers. Haven't had any problem with it. I have taken some sharp turns and have taken the car as fast as about 120MPH (don't want to push it really. It was a one maybe a couple of time thing LoL).
Here are some pix. Enjoy (cleared the calipers by almost 3mm as you can see in the picture)

You are the bomb! Thats exactly what I needed to see. Thanks alot for doing this. Now on with my project. Can anyone tell me how much of the caliper I can shave, if any, to help me clear my aftermarket rims?
