Nice pickup I think I remember seeing the ad for that SC. Anyways, the Soarer steering wheel in that ebay link looks like it is a non-airbag version. Just checking to see if you were aware of that.

Both... most of the stuff I am going to try and do myself, due to my housing situation a lot of the big stuff I am not allowed to do myself in which case I can use my friend and his shop.

Hmm... actually I didn't know that. I didnt realize the sc300/soarer came without an airbag? -shrugs- Oh well lol


And thanks to everyone else as well for the comments and compliments =P

so.....after 5 hrs and a lot of cussing and pain, finally got my coil overs on. Had a friend help me do it, and lets just say.. yea, not fun. Anyways, snapped a couple pics. Two at the jack in the box where we got food afterwards at 2am, and another at a gas station on the way back to my house. what do you guys think?

Lol yea.. you were right, pulling no, but I do nneed to roll. Because the car was actually about 3/4 inch lower in the rear but I couldnt drive it was rubbing too hard on smooth road. So I raised it up, but I am going to roll them tomorrow and slam the rear to be even with the front =)

If you live in the SGV i can drop by and give you a hand with anything seems like you did coils already which was easy after the first suspension 4 hours to get out 1 5 minutes to get the rest out...

I actually live in SFV, but I go to SGV all the time. The biggest thing I need help with is getting my stance right. for some reason I just cant get it to look like those VIP vehicles.

The struts are really long. So its a pain getting them out of the wheel well. Had to use a piston jack to push the calipers/rotors down to get them out and even with that, the struts were still being a pain in the ***. The bolts were crazy locked. took awhile for us to break them even with a breaker bar.
