Great, thanks. That should mean 323mm discs and Brembo's with 10-15mm spacers will fit on a LC.

Cheers Phil I don't have sone so will try without
id recomend using the windback tool adam, bit of a biatch without, especially if there well worn
Ok mate I'll try borrow one.
Having a bit of trouble with DHL actually getting them to me at the moment
Mine's an 01, and was a piece of piss without the tool, must have been lucky.
Was that fronts or rears tho?
I done fronts easily but read rears are a pain?
The rear caliper pistons must be screwed back down the handbrake rods at the same time as you push them in. This is utterly different to the front calipers, where simple brute force will do. Squashing the rear pistons in with pliers, a clamp or a sledgehammer will do no good at all, you have to twist at the same time.
IF your pistons have well-defined key holes you might be able to get away with using long-nosed pliers to push and turn with. From a pit, or with the car on a lift. If you don't mind skinned knuckles, lots of blood, sweat, tears and pain.
I've done it once, on an old Golf GTI. I recommend you get a windback tool.

Rears.
all depends on how much the tool is really, i used long nosed pliers , pushed and twisted at the same time no problem, i had no other option though i had stripped the car down and then found you couldn't just push the piston back in as i had on all my other cars.

Every time I do my rears there VERY stiff to turn even with the wind back tool.
So in my case trying to use pliers would be a non starter.
As above wind back tool helps save on pain and swear words
