They are on the way. Ordered the pads and rotors yesterday, will be in today. I think I may have to change the rims eventually, due to not having enough clearnace. I might be able to get away with a semi stretched tire in the front. We will see once everything arrives. Calipers, studs, and spacers will be here by middle of next week. More pictures coming.

mark, i just saw your posts about E85.
E85 requires about 30% more fuel volume to keep the same air/fuel ratio, so it would have to be re-tuned to add 30% fuel to the fuel map. if you just went to the pump right now and filled up with e85, it would run ~30% lean
(that's rough math, but the concept is what's important)
and that's really the main problem with e85; you have to make sure your injectors and fuel pump can keep up with that 30% addition.

Here is a few quick videos taking with the wifes Iphone... LMK if the link doesnt work..
This is at low boost, at 16 psi, 467rwhp, the speedo is off by 16 mph, reading slower.
This video is at high boost at 21 psi. Couldnt get on too much because the few small dips in the road. Around 522 rwhp....
Will take better ones in the daylight... Me and the wife were just out to dinner and I wanted to feel some boost.. LOL

Update:
After careful consideration, I am selling the SC...The first 13K gets her... NO trades, CASH money!!!!
Just kidding.. I have decided to sell the rims that I have and getting something else. Something that will clear the LS400 calipers. They will be here on Tuedsay and I havent really decided on what to go with. I guess you all will have to check the thread again on Friday afternoon, if all goes well, to see the new brake installed and wheels. Prolly saying goodbye to the ol' chromies, you will be missed, but the weight savings wont be.
Stay tuned.
