In this 2AMCars episode, Andrew and I show you guys how to install a LS400 big brake kit and coilover suspension on the SC! This video goes through how to replace calipers, rotors, shocks, and springs, as well as the ins and outs of the install. We definitely learned a lot doing this project and the results are fantastic!

This is the shit i cant find rear brak disc to lexus sc300 fook this ….
Hey 2am, not sure if youre gonna see this but did you ever have to replace your oem tophats after a while? I was going to get the same coils installed but since i have a sc with 200k miles, one of the guys said id need to buy new ones. Since we had the car, we never replaced the struts. If you havent changed them since you posted this vid, do you hear any sounds coming from the suspension? He told me that was bound to happen if my tophats werent in good condition still.
Excellent video, it let's you know that the Do It Yourselfers are in full effect.
I plan on doing a coil overs BC racing and a big brake install on my car this up and coming weekend on my SC 400 1998.
Thank you very much for this video
Thanks for the vids. What year LS400 should I use for my big brake kit?
So, did you have to put any spacers when putting your rims back on? I was told that when you put the LS400 calipers on, stock SC400 rims don't clear the caliper.
hi mitesh 😉 when's the next upload bro

Been looking at those rotors online how have they held up?

U don't need the spring compressor
hey man great diy.I have a gs430 but i alwasys wanted a sc400 to me that desing is timeless and i can see that you take pride in your car.
Hey man I'm doing the ls400 bbk on my is300. Just wondering how those rotors have held up.
I dig the z wheels on the Lexus
How good are those ls400 brakes. My stock calipers took a shit, so i just bought my ls400 calipers from a 1999 at a junk yard for $100.00 and new rotors and pads for $117.00, just wondering how good do they stop?
Did you have any issues with uneven ride height? I have the exact same coilovers and my driver side sits lower than the passenger even though they're maxed out
