Thanks cmh. That's how I wanted it. I like the comfort and sporty-ness of the SC, but it needed some minor improvements. Like the increased braking power with the LS400 calipers and better handling and road feel with the IS350 staggered wheels. It is very balanced right now and I love it for a daily go anywhere ride.

Night and day difference! Combined with cross drilled/slotted rotors, EBC redstuff pads front and back, and braided SS brake lines, the reassurance and responsiveness is almost uncanny. Best budget BBK kit you can do on this car!

question, did you hook up your touch screen pioneer to the stock sub and amp using the DYI on here or did you use the crutch field plug n' play? trying to decide myself when i buy one in 2 weeks.
clean SC btw, they always look so nice in white.

Noway! NY Roads are HORRIBLE!!! I've had my share of dropped cars back in my young-buck days... I enjoy the comfort and convenience of the stock suspension. Besides, after the wheel and tire upgrade, the handling has improved to my satisfaction. Its my daily driver, and i want to keep my back!
