Cool My brother just bought a 99 SC300

I drove the car tonight it drives like a dream very smooth. i guess stock suspension is the best. car is black on black. just wanted to know what should be done to have it running and performing the best? doing an oil change next week, the fog lights are not wired up currently. any info/suggestions appreciated thanks

Mileage? How's the belts? Bushings? Tune up?

Nice!

Do the sway bar bushings, cheap and effective way to get back that factory new "tighness" out of your car.

Heavy duty front sway bar bushings, steering rack bushings, power steering fluid flush, differential fluid flush, auto tranny flush, serpentine belt, fuel filter and a complete tune-up. Also try to find out if/when the last timing belt, timing belt tensioner and water pump was done as well as valve cover gaskets. Also read up on front lower control arms. Tons of info and DIY's on all these subjects. Just use the search feature. You're hanging out at the right site. Congrats on the SC!
