As stated above, I've been quiet and simply watching all your beautiful SC300/400s.
But for mine, this is where the build ends, after adding a 2011 IS-F Wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport Tires-255/35/19s fronts, and 275/35/19s, rears, lowered on Tokico HP Series Shocks with Tanabe NF210 Springs. Also, I replaced the head unit with Pioneer touchscreen and to top if off, replaced my left and right rear with Alpine speakers, and lastly, HIDs.
I love this car, it is heavy and is not fast but I bought the car out of impulsivity without doing any research on it. Nevertheless, I know it is a luxury car and was really not meant to be a sports car and the target of audience by Lexus was different.
As a matter of fact, I miss driving this car more than my IS-F; and I have no plans of boosting or doing anything out of the ordinary because I just want to keep it stock as much as possible and re-adjusted things and will re-adjust things to my liking.
So here's my 1997 5 Speed SC300.

Wow that's nice. Those wheels are perfect on it. That's hard to beat.

Props for keeping it clean and stock.

How is the ride with the with Tanabe springs compared to stock? Is there any rubbing or other issues?

Amazing purcahse. Are you aware of the 120 Club that you've just joined?

Clean I like the upgraded Lexus wheels

Nice ride. I have the same springs as yours but I have a bigger gap. I have 18's on mine and am using the kyb oem struts. Would switching struts make the gap closer?

The ride is very similar to the stock springs and I'm not quite sure if the struts would make much more of a difference with the height. I had 18s GS 350 2013 wheels with 235/45 18s all around and the gap is not noticeable. Btw these gs350 wheels and with Goodyear tires are up for sale.
In regards to rubbing issues... None so far. By the way, I also have spacers on all 4 corners.

And yes I've been told that there are only 120 of this made.

And thanks to you all...fellow car enthusiasts!

Congrats on picking up a really clean SC, the fact that's it an OEM 5 spd makes it even better!

Nice sc bro. Just started my 95' build 6 months ago. Hoping mine will be as clean. Also glad you did what you like and not what some other clown thinks you should do.

How much for the wheels and tires & are the adapters hubcentric? (60.1mm I believe)
