i got the rca's to fix my camber, the byproduct was clearing enough room to run the ls calipers. cant complain, they are so much lighter than even the stock gs calipers.

I'm considering doing this but how much better is this Vs. the stock brakes?
Also what do you guys do about the rear brakes? just leave them stock?

Can you explain to me how the RCA corrected your camber?

I will be releasing a minimal RCA spacer to clear the LS400, should be released in the next few days.

Damn no one reads in the GS section????? Lol wtf!

I spent almost 600 for my upgrade!

it all added up

Ls400 calipers 150shipped
RCA 180 shipped from moderator phml.
Rotors from r1concepts bought the cheaper e line drilled/slotted for 123 shipped
Reusing the OEM pads that has 8mm left which is why i chose a cheaper rotor instead of the premium.
I rebuilt the caliper my self.. 20 bucks for the rebuild kit and 80 to powdercoat them.
Got me some front stoptech ss brake lines for 45 bucks. Rears on backorder so im not gonna touch it.
