You have any wheel/tire fitment issues with the fenders and fender walls on your dropped Lexus Sc? The Sc has little wheel gap stock and another great styling and selling point but then it's a coupe so par course.

I don't particularly have any fitment issues with this setup but when I do go lower the tires rub up against the inner fender walls pretty bad. It's always good to get a mild fend roll but not necessary but a wire tuck is must lol but lucky I've tweaked my rise height perfectly so no nightmares so far!

Default 97 sc400

Hello,
Until a week ago I was unaware that there was such a thing as an SC400, now I own one. One owner, Diamond White Pearl, 79,000 miles, documented service through 75K. So far it seems mechanically perfect (everything works). Interior is near perfect and exterior is very good. I paid $6,500 for it. The original window sticker was with the owner's manual.

Hey gang my name is Ed and I have a 1995 SC400 that I love. Just redid alternator, power steering pump, valve cover gasket, and intake manifold. I am having the capacitor issue as mentioned in this forum and the ECU will need to be replaced (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...capacitor.html). Any good advice where to pick a good ECU up? See them online for decent $$ just seeing if anyone has some experience with anyone reliable. Thanks!

ok here I go, I am new a this stuff so be kind when I screw up. I have a 92 green (looks blue to me)SC300 auto, gray interior, I bought it about 7 years ago I loved this car never had any problems till last year, thats when I found your club, spent weeks on the site looking for answers and found the fix I needed, I was so happy that my car was running again. My dream car has once again become a nightmare. I live in sw missouri on table rock lake, I have not seen another sc300 since I move here 4 years ago, the best thing about living here are the curvey roads you have to drive on, my car and I used to have so much fun taking the curves at insane speeds pushing it to the limit, well those days are over and the car is just sitting and waisting away, I hate to even look at it, so I thought I might get to know some of you and find some help on how to go about parting the car out since no one around here knows how to fix them and the lexus dealer is dumber then I m about these cars, just wants money I don't have so I thinking about parting it out and don't know how to do it.. thats my storyand I'm sticking to it. I dont know how to post pictures yet so be patient.

So my name is Ryan. My friends and family call me captain. You can call me whatever, I am easy to get along with. I have been in love with supras, and sc's since the early nineties . It's never been the right time to own one till now.

Last year I picked up a 93 sc300 that was unloved and in bad shape but it ran great and was cheap. Original color was garnet pearl and after 20 years in Florida sun and previous owner trying to drift it needed some work. I have a friend that is a painter so why not change the color. It is now cobalt blue. It's VERY blue. I could use some ideas to make it pop.

I'm looking forward to talking to new people and getting ideas. Nice to meet you all.

Cool

Hello all on clublexus, Ive been around on here for a while now but only as a guest, but i decided to finally join the fun. Currently i have a red 92 sc400 before that i had a green 92 sc300 and before that was another red 92 sc400. There's just something about these cars that i love. I think what really pulled me in though is the fact that they're built off the supra chassis.

Hello all! My Name is Jim McLaughlin and I am from Chicago, IL. I am not new to the Lexus community but I am new to the forum and I just recently purchased a 1997 Black/Tan SC300 automatic. It is completely stock and in excellent shape. I don't know what I am going to do with it just yet. Probably park it in the garage and look at it for a while. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself.
