my brake pads r running low so might as well do ls400 bbk. i know where im buying the rotors and pads, but i dont know where to buy the calipers. i know i can get them from advanced or wutever, but im a kind of person that would prefer something i can trust(not saying that theres anything wrong with the advanced auto parts calipers) i just never had to buy them. so my question to u guys is where should i go to buy them and/or wut brand is trustworthy.

ok ive been searching for the past 30 minutes. what all is required for the LS400 BBK upgrade? just the calipers and rotors, just the calipers, or what? whenever i see a post they only mention calipers. do i need to get new rotors or can i use the stock LS400 rotors? am i going to need spacers? i have a little over an inch and a half clearance on the stock SC300 brakes with my wheels right now. im going to the junk yard tomorrow so i need to know this stuff.

*2 front LS calipers
*2 Ls400 96+ Rotors
*stock brake lines will bolt right up
*Need shorter mounting bolts for the calipers since the SC bolts are a little too long (can use the factory LS400 caliper bolts, (4 total), thats what I did when I went to the junk yard)
*Recommend getting new pads
*Will have to trim your dust shield on the SC to accommodate for the larger rotors
*In my case the factory 16s on my SC were nowhere close to clearing these brakes, but I have read that with about 20MM spacers they will work.
*I also had to grind down the LS calipers a little bit to make them fully seat/align with the SC mounting holes.

Hope this helps, that's just what I ran into when I did mine.
