direct bolt on, but you still need ls400 rotors.
Use same brake lines but need the 2 bolts (4 total, 2 on each side) that hold on to the caliper of an ls400. Since the sc brake bolts are too long, they get way too close to the rotors. Either you

a) cut the bolt and make it a little shorter or
b) go to the dealer and order 2 bolts (4 total, 2 on each side)

i'd choose the lader. anyways... i wont be nice next time, search!

Almost have it. You can order just two of the bolts as the bottom bolts will fit with plenty of clearance (they go in the gap between the rotor face and the hat). If you don't want to go buy the bolts just grind the top ones down a little bit so they can fit.

Also, One thing that has rarely been mentioned, the top mounting portions needs a little grinding just under the bolt hole as there is slight interference in mounting it on the bracket. Again, just a little grinding, but nothing the basic mechanic can't accomplish. Do a search on it and there is a detailed pic on where to grind it.

Oh and don't forget your pads too

With the previous 2 posts combined, that's how I did mine.

Good stuff

you can use the SC bolts with washers if you don't have LS bolts. You do have wheels that will clear the calipers I assume...???
