Peter,

Looks awesome!!! I just wanted to thank you for your help with my SC 430 and the HRE 540Rs you sold me. The setup you recommended has been perfect for me. You have done an awesome job on this SC. I may have to get some 549Rs next year!! Take care.

Doc C in Colorado.

Looks great! But I presume it rides like a coal truck, as they say.

Wheel choice, size, and fit looks about perfect; no question about that.
However, with 1" of tire between wheel and ground PLUS dropped to the floor, it has to ride like a dump truck. Besides, your car wouldn't last a day in my town without serious damage (starting with my garage); you're lucky you can ride it like that where you live.
Could you honestly tell us the difference from stock to your current setup? How about with wheels only, if you tried them before lowering?

Awesome car dude

actually i am pretty sure the car still rides very good, coz' that's the tein CS coilover and it's very soft. i have the flex which is already a bit stiffer on my gs4 and i think it's already soft. so with the CS on the sc430, i am sure it still rides smooth. the wheels will make the ride harsher but it won't be jumping around for sure

Very nice. Wouldn't look half as good without the front/rear lip spoilers tho.

Kinda makes me miss my Silver/Saddle SC. Nice job.
