Default milling calipers?

spdrcr771, Got some brackets from you early this year. I never completed kit then sold SC.
I read the whole thread and our pm's.
I cannot find the amount you told me needed to be milled off the calipers to provide for a solid fit with the brackets.
I think I remember 3mm and thats what it looks like in the pictures. Please verify for me and any interested parties.
I posted this question on the thread to complete the thread. Thanks

I know this is the SC section but I finally finished installed this setup on the rear of my 1st GEN GS. I love it so far. There are a few complications the I want to take a look at but overall I am very happy with the setup. I had the calipers powdered coated with then applied the Lexus decal and then had it powder coated it clear to lock the decal in place. What do you guys think?

Looks great man. No sure what kind of problem you ran into. Maybe its a GS thang, when this set up was made for the SC...? Whatever it was, Im sure it wasnt hard to fix... PM me & let me know what the deal was...

Looks like someone tried to duplicate / steal my design & didnt get it right! Now TRACKMKIII had to be the one to suffer the miscomings of that person! Thats ok, I will take care of him!

just an FYI, the RC F rear disc rotor fits the IS F, so if you wan't a slotted rotor instead of a drilled rotor you can go this route as well.

The brakes are readily available however the brackets to mount them are hard to come by. PM the OP in this thread, he designed them.
