what parts did you have to buy to do the swap? Rotors and calipers?

I just notched the back of the Calipers for clearance. I spoke to a few others that did the Ls400 Swap and they did not need to do any modifications other than trim back the Shield. So it might in fact be Year specific

That's a NO & Yes. When I got the car it was an AUTO. I did the Manual Swap before I did the 2jzgte Swap.

I know it's for a 6 Speed Supra Swap but a lot of this information can be adapted for the 5 Speed SCxxx Swap. I hope this Helps

This is one of the SCxxx PART's GUY. Great Prices on Quality Lexus Parts (SCxxx's). He supplied many with W58 Swap Parts. He supplied me with parts to do TWO W58 Swaps. Just PM him from time to time to see what he has.

IMO the supra wheels looked better, but if you want 350z wheels, get the 5 spoke ones.

They are for my IS300. I just installed them to see if they would clear the LS400 Calipers & Check the offset on the SCxxx. I would like to install some LS400 Calipers on my IS300
