Dude... that car will look great once you've finished up what you need to. Glad to see you're fixing what unfortunately breaks instead of deciding to get rid of it.

Hey Paulo, thanks for the posts. i enjoyed reading about your build.
I really like what you did with the calipers. The gold with the red looked nice in my oppinion. I think you should do another pair :-)
I have an SC that I lowered about 3 inches. it is difficult to drive it on the street. I scrap on a lot of stuff. Havent broken anything other then the front lip yet. (Knock on wood)
If you drive the car alot I would advise against it, but it's your car. do what you want. (It does look nice sitting that low)
After you get the height where you want it you are going to want to get an allignment right away. lowering the car changes the camber, and the toe. this will kill the inside edge of tires very very quickly. I went through 3 sets of rear tires in 1 summer, and I didn't really do that much driving.

You will probably need to get new rear control arms as it is common for the camber bolts to freeze/rust inside the bushing, and not be able to be adjusted. if you car is in a warm climate (no snow/salt) you might be able to get them free.
Adjustable toe arms are probably going to be needed too.
I'd hate to see you spend all that money on coil overs just to end up killing tires, and costing you a few more bucks.
If you do everything right the first time it will end up saving you a few bucks in the long run.

I also have gotten a lot of new parts from partsgeek . com they have been a good source for me if you can't find something at your local yard.

Good luck with the rest of your build.
Bob :-)

I'd stay 18's if I were you... especially if you are just staying stock or 97+ body. IMO 19's look too big on these cars unless you have a larger body kit.

idk random guy who tried helping get unstuck.

car is worthless, it has a rebuilt title so I'm choosing to stick with it.

Thank you

thanks for all the info, yeah, I need new bushings first before i get an alignment and i daily it low. I'm used to driving low and know most of my roads so its not a problem for me, its random construction zones that i hate. :/ I'm all too familiar with camber and toe, and yes it does eat up tires pretty quick if not set correctly, no matter what though with negative camber you will always get uneven tire wear but with the correct toe you can minimize the wear. I get most of my new parts from Sewell lexus, their prices are pretty hard to beat! ill be picking up my motor mounts from them soon.
yup, i'm planning on sticking with 18's, I plan on going 97+ as well.

Mustang wheels are getting sold so I threw my stock GS 16's back on I like how the car looks right now with matching wheels all around, since i will be coming up on extra cash i'll be ordering my motor mounts and maybe a new PS pump most likely a reman though. AC compressor not too worried since i still have freon left and its heading into winter. my 95 tails are getting shipped out to justin (sc4o0) and he also sent me a new climate control LCD to put on mine, if i successfully do it on mine, hell be sending his to do. Can't wait, just gotta pick up a new soldering tip,
