go to the ls430 forum, it was at the lms meet. that's a car lexus corp gave to shop to mod i think. everything wald (maybe except the supercharger). even those brembos are custom from wald / brembo i believe. 15" front. i believe that's a 8/4 setup. imagine the price

i actually saw that car on i5 once when i was drivine up north and he was driving south bound, believe that was the weekend of HIN. awesome car

They need to make that brembo setup for the GS That is an unbelievably nice LS, and its done by wald as well. No wonder I like it so much

they already do. wald has two super demo cars, the ls430 (they call it cf43) and the sc430 (they call it sc43). both cars are supercharged. the sc430 also has the same brembo 8/4 setup as the ls430. both setup use custom fabricated brackets.

the sc430 and the gs shares the same brake bracket design, so if you want you can just get the sc43 brake kits and both it on the gs no problem. but first of all you need to get 9000 bucks in your bank account first.

damn i talk too much, all these fitment stuff should be my personal secret!

$9k is a lot for brakes. I guess if you have all other bases covered and you wanted to set your GS apart from the rest, it would make sense. Me, I will keep my $9k in the bank and make money off of it

Shawn Williams at Street Concepts put that car together. His shop is in Huntington Beach - they used his shop for the filming of the OverHaulin episode with the silver/purple Civic. I was actually there on the sixth day of filming, measuring Joe Galante's new Skyline R34 for wheels...

The LS is local, I see it around occasionally. Nicely done.

hahaha well, everything is relative. those of us (like me) who can hardly gather 2k for mods, 9k is a lot. but those who always have 10k easy to mess around, 9k for brakes is nothing. plus 8/4 setup (i think it's 15" in the front and 14" in the back), you get your bragging rights any day man

I hope it isnt too hard for you to gather 2k in mods, since you have 3 nice cars

does ne1 know if the prussian blue front fenders are flared out more than the stock oem fenders? ie. there is no need to have them rolled for tire clearance?

I will soon just waiting for the freight from Japan to arrive with the fenders and HKS hood.
I just got some new catalogs from JP and YES they have fenders. Similar to Prussian Blue.
