To all the peeps with a LS400 Brake conversion..

Did you go with 400 calipers and rotors on all 4 corners or just the fronts? I'm thinking it might look funny if I have bigger rotors on just the fronts...http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...1387914497.gif

You can only do the fronts - the rears don't fit.

Ok thanks. I just wanted to know if it was going to look seriously unbalanced but if the differences aren't that big then I just saved some money by sticking to stock calipers in the rears. I'll probably end up putting slotted rotors on all 4 though.

Slotted rotors add another 100 horses and 200 lbs of torque while stopping the car on a dime and giving some change in return

Plus they just look so amazing on the car and girls love 'em

Lol..Just be careful when purchasing new rotors. Make sure they are not cheap (ebay) brands..not all metal is the same..
as far as slotted or drilled, in this age of time, 2011, Pad technology has improved to the point where is not really needed. If i had to choose id go with slotted.

P.S. I need some or your Blessings/Magic to Win the Mega Millions Jack pot..Let me know what you can do..

Are you talking about the 2nd Gen GS? And if so, what would you have to do aside of installing RCA's?

Yeah, I know I need RCAs up front and I think I can get away with a 15mm spacer on my 19s.

****-adkt: I'm gonna go with Power Slot. I think they have a pretty good rep...
