Here you go I only have these two. Maybe Ill take a few more if the springs settle a little more. I put a one inch spring drop on it hoping it would drop a little more but It basically looks stock. If I had to do it again I would role the fenders and do a two inch drop.
Rear dust shields needed to be trimmed. I wanted to get the ISF ones but the 355mm rotor doesn't fit inside, so either way I would have had to trim the rear dust shield.
Was quite disappointed since I would have preferred the OEM ISF dust shield to fit, but even 10mm bigger is a no-go (ISF rear rotor is 345mm)
Thanks to @lobuxracer and @JT2MA71 and the ISF guys for the tips. I nearly ordered the GSF brake dust shields... looks like the ISF dust shields work just fine. Can probably go up to 410mm rotors with no issues. Had to cut the rear dust shields with an air saw.
The GS450h with its electrical ABS pump and rear energy recovery always had a weird brake pedal feel, slightly spongy with long pedal travel. I've bled and re-bled the brakes to no avail. Interestingly, this brake setup has about ~18% less piston area than the OEM calipers, and the weirdness is almost gone, the pedal travel is noticeably reduced and much firmer. Probably a completely unnecessary mod since I will never track this car, but for hard street driving it is much more enjoyable.
Upsized the rear tyres to 285/35R19... I think this is the biggest you can go for these cars... I might try 295/35 one day
Also added an ebay front lip.. the fit was awful, had to wrangle with it to get it to fit, but looks OK from afar...
