LNF to LSJ brake conversion

Hi,

I don't post much as I am not that good at this whole forum thing. Anyway I am looking to see if there is an LNF to LSJ brake conversion how to or if someone could at least shoot me the required parts list to do so with a tad bit a information and tips. I have heard there are spacers needed to go from lsj to lnf brembos, but I don't really know so I would assume its a little more involved than an interchangeable bolt up. thanks again!

1lb of rotational weight loss is equivalent to 10lbs of dead weight removed from the car.

Or Exsoccer, he had a little business venture for selling those. Just a heads up its most likely not going to be a cheap direct swap

Sorry for the delay

Sorry guys, I've been deployed. I have the LSJ calipers, rotors, pads and hoses etc...but like y'all said I'm not so sure I can just bolt these up and go. Thanks for the help guys. Hopefully someone can eventually chime in who's done the swap.

Technically u can just bolt them up, the rotor just wont be centered between the pads.

With the lsj -> lnf we just add a slim spacer to the hub to center our rotors.

You would need to shave off that amount from your hub. But the spacer is soo small im not sure how much difference it would make.

U can always just unbolt the lnf caliper and mock up the lsj one too see how off it is without removing any brake lines for a start.

And if u swap knuckles u need new axles and all that crap cuz its different.
