Thumbs up 542Rs & TM Engineering

Here are 542Rs on a SC400.

Also, here's an unsolicited plug for Todd at TM Engineering. Todd perfomed all the modifications listed below with my signature. He did an incredible job with attention to detail every step of the way. It is obvious that he enjoys and takes pride in his work.

My recommendation: Consult with Todd, buy your parts from him and have him do the install. The project will be completed seamlessly and with no surprises.

This SC looks and handles great.

Thanks Todd.

This is basically how I plan my mods too. Todd has had input (whether big or small) in pretty much most of the "functional" mods on my car.

Nice job on the SC.

In round numbers:
Paint: $6,000
Wheels: $4,800
Tires: $1,000
Calipers & Rotors: $1,200
Sway bars: $500
Coilovers: $1,200
Installation: $1,500
Miscellaneous repairs: $1,500

That comes to $17,700. This was my car. It's now my wife's car. My car is a 2000 BMW 540i, but I like the Lexus so much that my wife tells me she doesn't really have a car - I've got two.

Not much to see... black on black, stock and very clean. I have, however, been thinking about putting some HREs on it. Those rims are soooooo nice - perfectly machined pieces of industrial jewelry.
