so i picked up these slotted rotors for my sc300. these rotors are about the same size as the oem sc400 rotors, i knew the rotor was bigger but didnt know i would have trouble putting back the caliper on the rotor. Is there any kind of bracket that i could use so i could bolt down the caliper so it clears the rotors?? have any of you guys had this problem??

sc400 bracket? If not I wouldnt think there would be any sort of production bracket cuz people dont normally do this. When upgrading breaks they usually go LS or TT, not sc4. You may have to make your own..

Like wheels, the offset of the rotor will play a big role in fitment when using parts from other cars.
Most popular swap is the 95 - 00 LS400, everything bolts on. You'll need calipers, rotors, pads and hardware and you're set. Only issue is the bolts, either grind 3mm off the end or use 3mm lock washers to clear the rotor (if I remember correctly, it's only an issue with the top bolt). One other thing is some people had issues with mounting clearances, a small amount of the caliper had to be ground down; I did not run into this problem.
