supra TT/LS brake swap to IS300
after swapping 4 pot brembo's on my friends DC5 to the ITR calipers. i cant believe how much of a difference it made. i know edgy sold a kit, to use supra TT calipers via Chin Kwan's adapters in conjunction with TT rotors, pads, shims... but does anyone know if the LS 4pot caliper is a direct bolt on? i cant find anywhere online the diameter of the stock LS400/430 front rotor. but like the TT, the LS has front and back vented rotors, so im hoping they are the same diameter.. i know the TT's front rotors are 323mm. can anyone shine some light on this?
1) is the LS front calipers a direct bolt on? im reading how easy it is for GS to swap to supra TT calipers, and how the IS has to use an adapter sold by Chin Kwan, for the TT's to work on the IS
2) is the LS front rotors 323mm?
idealy want to use the LS caliper if its a direct bolt on with the supra TT rotors if the LS rotors are 323mm in diameter. thanks for any insight.

Not a bolt on for the IS. It's the same spacing as the Supra TT brakes. You need the Chin Kwan adapters, or just elongate the holes with a dremel. Very carefully I might add.
The rotors are also slightly smaller, just enough to rub (I've tried).
You just need to order drilled /slotted rotors for the LS from i-rotors.com.

the ls4/430 setup, it's just too much of a hassle imho
