Default thanks

Abdul..thanks...BTW I compare my Sc to my Rx-7 well as you see its really no comparison here...the RX is way better.

Jbrady ...THANKS great info will get in contact.

Scott, you know (don't laugh) I have been so busy I actually didn't think of that. I am not gonna go crazy in power (no turbo or supercharger) but do want at least a 190lph pump that will hold the pressure so the Supra will do...now I just got to check prices. Any good places? does www.suprastore.com have good prices on those.

About the paxton...I suggest to stay away...just found out it makes a lot of noise like you suggested.

Thanks EVERYBODY!!!

...off to the races

The lack of on-center feel is endemic to the GS400. It's been mentioned here and in numerous articles.

I've got a 98 GS400 with 17s and Michelin Pilots. On the highway at speed it always seems to need a little correction. I can't just point it and relax.

I've read that the L-tuned springs, shocks and steering ecu help. I'm going to have them installed in the 430 I'm getting in June.

For some perspective, our 99 GS400 with Michelin Pilot Sports feels dead on- arrow straight and locked in compared to my SC300... I agree, the GS400 is not the "best" straightline tracking I've seen, but with low profile 17s, I think Lexus did a pretty good job. Mitch (Y2KGS4) has installed Bridgestone RE730s on his GS4 and from what I've heard, these tires track really well in a straight line...
