Hey CL! I just have a quick question on the front LS400 upgrade, I already have the rotors and calipers, but I am currently stuck, what other items are necessary to complete this job?

 

1. Pads
2. New brake fuid.
3. (optional, but i highly recommend) SS brake lines
4. (optionl also) 6-pack Coronas

 

You may also need 8 washers to push out the caliper bolts..also not necessary but you may want to do is ...caliper paint.

 

MIGS..

That 6pack sounds real good right now..

 

Thanks for all the responses! I definitely bought some caliper paint, I will post pics when i get it all done! but Ive encountered another problem, Am i going to need longer wheel studs with the washers? i put in the rotors and it seems to interfere with the tie rod end?, i know i have to cut the dust cover a bit, but im still stuck on this step haha

I am definitely getting that six pack tommorow, and for the ss brake lines, anyone know of a good site where i can purchase these?

 

Post pics when your done.

 

LS caliper bolts are shorter than SC bolts. Do ur self a favor and just pick up 4 LS bolts from the dealership. They are worth it. To hell with washers.

Fleabay sells brake lines for a good price.

 

I think i might have gotten a rotor that is too big, i bought it off a CL member, as i put to fit in the rotor the rotor interferes with the tie rod end, and im wondering if i have to buy the spacers to put it in before i mount the rotor? thanks for helpin me!

 

if u bought rotors for an '95-00 LS400, then they should slide-on with no problem, (assuming u already cut or flatten the dust sheild so the rotors fit and rotate properly) and shouldn't be hitting any tierods.

 

more details about the cutting or flattening the dust shield, whats the process?

^step #4

 

I simply took off the dust shield on mine. Also, I used 2 washers per bolt to avoid the interference.
I had no trouble with driver side caliper but I did have to trim a bit to fit the passenger side caliper.

 

i just banged my dust shield back and out and cut the bottom. i also used the stock bolts and still got like 1/2inch of clearance...

 

I had this same issue with my 97. Shaving a little bit from the caliper solved the problem, but I still have the dead pedal though
