It works but not 100% yet. There are some issues im having with the motors getting jammed up.

I'm leaning toward the rods causing more resistance by not being straight. Turning the adjustment **** is just as easy and light as they are on a set of teins. I will post up when I figure something out. Its near impossible to weld something so little straight..

I know they arent pretty, I wanted to see what they would do before doing anything else to them..





And a picture of the LED handle..



Video coming soon of the motor getting jammed up..

Okay, I felt alittle better earlier and I decided to trim the front fenders before I cracked my paint rubbing. Now no more rubbing.

My brake booster was bad from day one, I just replaced it with a spare is300 booster my BFF gave me. No homo haha

So if you are going to put the smaller/thinner booster from an is300, you cannot use the master from the is, you have to use the sc one. Brake lines are on different sides. Once u slide the new booster in, inside the cabin you will have a c type of clip that snaps onto the brake pedal. You need to replace that c clip with the shorter sc300 and take it all the way back. Baam. Brakes like new. I'm going to be buying a BBK for this car real soon...

Trying to decide if I want a set of supra caliper or ls400. Both need replacing of calipers right? I though the ls400 was direct bolt on...
