Sup Guys,

Got my wheels and tires last Thursday and lowered it on Friday with Tanabe springs. Let me know what you guys think, and give me some feed back on what else I should add. Thanks!

Welcome to CL

Your car looks great, those are some nice mods you have done.



Did you reuse your OEM shocks with the Tanabe springs?

How much did it lower your car?

Yes, I did reuse my OEM shocks. Haven't had much problem with it so far, although it does get kind of bumpy sometimes depending on road conditions.
My car is about an inch lowered. The Tanabe hasn't been settled with the shocks yet, i believe. Should drop another quarter or so eventually. Thanks for your comment

I just love 5 spoke wheels. When the springs settle this baby will be really hot. I think it looks good as is but SC430's really pop with a nice bodykit. The front and rear especially need something. The sides are fine.
Nice ride.

Need more pics!
