sc3 and 4 are identical and can also be substituted with supra lines.

Yea.. I think basically he's asking since its ls400 brakes does he have to use ls400 lines or sc300 lines?.. you still didnt answer that in your first post. All your saying is sc300 and sc400 and supra lines are the same.

So if I'm reading this correctly your saying you can use SC300/SC400/Supra brake lines on LS400 calipers right? without any modifications?

if so cool, that makes it easy to get those.

YES, correct, that is exactly right, the threaded fittings on the calipers are identical.
The hell you are about to go through making the ss brake lines fitting couple back over the flared tip is legendary. You must be careful with the tip of the supply line (had to file mine very carefully) or you'll find yourself replacing the brake supply line as well.
