I've looked into this kit too. But after researching both it is much easier to go with the Night Pager LS430 setup. The LS460 setup requires to change your bolt pattern to 5x120 prior to the swap or have the rotors re-drilled to 5x114.3.

From what I learned from Night Pager is that they are roughly $850 for the front brackets to make is possible to mount the LS430 for the 2GS. But also included in the price is the modification to the UCF30 caliper which is need to make is all possible. Here are the photos from Night Pager showing how the bottom of the caliper needs to be machined down. I suppose that justifies the price but still a little pricey

850 is an insane price for a bracket...it's not made out of gold.

nice, looks awesome. having LS460 calipers would definitely set you apart from the OE 2GS calipers as well as having LS400's...

i wouldn't wanna install the drum shoes for the e-brake...

whats the point, for the price you might as well get a brembo bbk or some decent brand rather than oem calipers.

I've put the LS430 calipers on 3 different Porsches and an Audi. Can't beat them. I've also put them over a 330 x 32 rotor and they are being tracked with outstanding results.
