Default LS400 Calipers
I am about to install a set of LS400 calipers and just have 2 quick questions:

Does Sage Front RCAs need perfect fit without cutting the threat?

Will a 15mm spacer fit my stock 17" rims?

Thanks!

You will find probably 30 threads on this topic alone.

1. No need to cut anything once you have RCAs. The sage are thick enough that the calipers will clear the tie rod.

2. 15mm spacers is enough to clear the OEM 17s.

SAGE front RCA is 30mm thick...no shaving required.

15mm spacer gives plenty of room.
