Love it! Hope my car looks like that someday LOL

How many inches did you drop on the Teins, and how did you manage your alignment?

We did'nt measure it, I just kept dropping it till I was happy. Ended up setting the Geometry twice as was not low enough first time and then I also swapped out the wheels.

On the front Im all the way down so I would guess 1.5" atleast.

This is a pic of when they set the geometry first time

But did you use some sort of camber kit? Or did stock components allow for enough adjustment?

what did you do with the front grill logo 'nub'?
it's the bump that is used to screw the L logo into.
I used a magicmarker on mine, but you seem to have
removed it. if so, what did you do?

oh its there, I just did the magic marker as you. But that grill has long gone now anyway.

I think it was Henry that just got a Dremel and took it off. You probs. only notice it as its there in your mind

I think this is the hottest SC430 on the site. Only negative for me are the Falken tires but everything else is tip-top.

Maybe we should take a poll.

My Stock SC attracted too much attention... I cannot fathom how much of a hassle it would be to drive such a beautiful machine on a daily basis... let alone the attention from the other gender

Nicely Executed
