Default new from tucson az

Im not really sure if this is the right place for an introduction so redirect me if needed.

So i just picked up a 1995 lexus sc300. its all stock, 5speed manual with 93k miles on it. I will try and gets some pics asap. Any advice would be appreciated. Im looking into getting some coilovers, and some nice 17 or 18" rims, gonna keep it pretty simple for my dd. I was also wondering whats a good suspension set up for cheap, i want a decent drop and a bumpy ride doesnt really bother me too much.

Thanks in advance,
Ripps

Nice pick up! 95 5-speed is the best year IMO, last year of OBDI! Go with Stance if you go tracking with the car, I choose Tein for being able to control dampening inside the car with EDFC.

You should hit up the southwest section, there's a bunch of us in the phoenix area that get together quite frequently. Congrats on the buy! As far as coilovers go, I have stance and love em.
Hopefully you'll be able to make it up here for a meet or something soon!

Lmao my car is on hondatech? BigC must be responsible for that.
Your car is cleeean! Nice pickup! Keep tabs on the SW section and meets, like I said we do stuff quite frequently.
What are your plans for the car?

Honestly, I am really happy with my STANCE GR+ PRO's. They arent too bumpy but I dont have them lowered all of the way. The ride really isnt that bad IMO. They're expensive tho...

my only advice is to not go with the 17's... do at least 18's...
GL with your new ride...

IM just gonna drop it a pretty good amount then i was thinking some 18" gold work vs-xx's or some gold volk te37 i just want it clean and simple, no extreme off set or camber. but until i can afford that, anyone have any recommendations on a oem rim that looks good. I was thinking some 04-05 tsx rims or some rsx rims or do u think it would be a no no to put honda wheels on a toyota.

Default 1992 Lexus SC400, V8, rear wheel drive.

I understand you cannot post for sale here on the forum. Can anyone recommend a site to sell a Lexus? It is an older SC400 Lexus, so only Lexus enthusiast would understand.

Thanks for the help!
