I can assure you that there are many more coilovers/springs/shocks options for the SC430 out there.
The demand is too low and most of them are too expensive anyway, so no company here in the US is interested in importing them.
In your case, just get the new oem shocks to go with Swift lowering springs.
If price is your concern, Megan coilovers is actually not a bad option if you don't plan to spend a few grands.

Bacardi-maybe you didn't understand my first point down here. These are the Bilsteins you were looking for. Talwang is right...coilovers are much less expensive than what you are trying to do, but to each his own. There were several posts of IS/GS cars with Bilstein and Swift together, but no one has done it with SC's. I would take very careful measurements and get it in writing before you buy.
Good luck. Here is my post again:

Here are Bilsteins only:

With springs already...good deal here if you can break away from the Swift and consider Eibach?

Here are swift springs:

Do you need an alignment too, bacardi? I can arrange that for you? What time works best?
LOL
I'm with Talwang though...it would be MUCH easier and give you more adjustment options to do a coilover...but a man likes what he likes.

you and talwang are both right. there is a big difference in the valving and from what i.ve been reading the valving would be all wrong they will not work properly. just going to put the springs on for now and go from there. like i said the swift drop the car .8 in front and .6 in rear which is all i want. the springs are made from a different materil and are much lighter about 60 lbs thats un-sprung weight..
