Ordered a Powerstop k6363 brake kit for the LS400 calipers I just found here on CL. Also just got my new cluster needles in the mail today.

Had it painted back Nov 2017 and finally got around to have it wet sanded and buffed. Still have to finish installing the body kit correctly.
Rolling on Supra TT Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs. Wheels are ESR SR12 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 +30mm offset.
Will get some better pics when it warms up some.

^^^ Pictures dont even do justice to your car's paint job Eldon. Am definitely going to check out that paint shop this year when the weather warms up. Don't forget to text me the number , name of shop and address. For the price , you can't beat it and no point of me messing around with painting.

Here is a pic I snapped when you were in my place yesterday

Replaced lower control arms and stabilizer links. Also had an alignment done. Still ways to go but the most important maintenance is out of the way

Let it sit under the carport. Like most days, I drive my 2004 Tacoma to work, as I like driving that noisy buzz bomb to work, it gets better gas mileage, more important, on regular gas, plus I like how it sits a little bit higher(its 2wd, not 4wd) than my Lexus in traffic. The SC300 gets brought out on long road trips, its way quieter, rides way nicer than the truck.

Thanks, I selected those wheels because I saw your thread with them installed on your car. Can't beat the price. I wanted the specs you have but the +22 offset does not come in the size19.
I am quite happy with the paint job it came very nice.

Good move, car should ride much nicer now. Which control arms did you install?

Today is exactly 10 years since I took delivery of the SC. I've replaced about 80% of the car over the years and currently it runs flawlessly (with the exception of needing a new heater control valve).

I had some new/stronger hangers made for my exhaust since I kept on breaking the old ones.

Rolled it in to the woods 100 meters, after a crash, and the car turned in to a fireball melting its entire existance, and burned 50+ acres of pine trees with it! Walked away from the crash unscathed.

ill pics tonight.

now ive gotta find another SC400.
