Hi Rich

There is quite a few of us on here from the UK.

There is a Lexus forum based here in the UK, but it does not compare with CL, you will get all the answers you need from the guys and girls on here and their knowledge is immense.

I have the LuxLink with the rear window mod, but unfortunately it is still sitting on the shelf in the garage the same as a lot of CL members. We bought it with a group buy some time ago (not made anymore).
You will find lots of posts on here for lowering your car, just try the search button. I did a DIY in pictures a couple of years ago when I installed my coilovers, but I have since converted to air because of the damn speed bumps everywhere in London.
If you know a simple (ish) way to control the rear quarters then the members on here would love to know how, including me.

Take care and enjoy your car, mine is tucked away now for the winter.

Cheers
Steve

Hi Rich

I met up with a couple of the guys on here at a Jap car club meet at the Ace Cafe in London in 2011. If any more are planned or a meet of some kind is organised, I'll let you know.
If you look up aquanuke's posts you will find some pictures.
Chris has a fabulous car and he is an amazing photographer and the pictures he has posted on here are brilliant, just search for his posts.

The LuxLink will eventually find it's way into my car when I can find the time to do it, so thanks for the offer, but I will keep it. Sometimes they come up for sale in the CL classifieds as a lot of members have not fitted them, worth a look.

Rear window mod???

Cheers
Steve

Rich,
Congrats on the purchase. That is a sharp looking SC430!

There are methods to control the rear window that involve adding relays and tieing it in to the current window buttons or using a separate switch. You'll have to do a search on the forum to find it though.

Here is at least one or two of them:
