you are going to just fall in love with this upgrade. By far the best bang for the buck upgrade on the SC!....a real no brainer. Plus it is such an easy DIY! Lexus should have been putting these on the SC's all along.

I hit it with a little 800 grit sandpaper just to get any impurities off the surface. I did 5 or 6 coats though, so it should hold.

I'll probably get around to installing the brakes next weekend, or whenever I feel like doing something more productive than sitting at my computer.

Ii installed my calipers a while ago and I had to put a small spacer so my wheels would clear the calipers. Now my lug nuts won't screw all the way in. Is it possible for me to put longer studs or is there anything I can do??

Help please!!!

Needless to say, it is very dangerous to have lug nuts that are not threaded down very far. I suggest you go to a good tire shop (Discount Tire etc) and have them take a look at it and advise you what to do, the sooner the better!

Yes you need longer studs, what size spacer did you use? Usually the spacer comes with the longer studs, I have some 5mm spacers with the longer studs(h&R) $70 shipped.
