Monday -rear pads - very easy as long as you put the spring back the way it pops out. Look at it BEFORE you pop it out. I like the dual piston set up.
Tues - dusted the outside- thats the highlight each week of a garage queen.
Today - cleaned the spots off the side view mirrors.
Pretty boring stuff.

I sprayed the clear coat on my LS400 calipers and did the last bit of shaving to mount them last night. Got everything bolted up, now I've gotta bleed the system after work and wash the car.

What brakes did you get? Get them on and get pics, haven't seen your car in a while and my mind is on brakes right now since I've been messing with mine all week!

You'll probably need to modify the dust shields behind the rotor, cut and/or bend them to clear the rotor and bigger caliper. Other than that the only thing different from a normal brake job should theoretically just be bolting the brackets to the calipers and then to the car.
