Talking New to the Forum

Hi i am new to this forum ive had a 94 lexus sc400 for about 5years now and i am now starting to work on it. I want to do a complete motor swap from the 1jz V8 to the 2jz. My first step will be the suspension work, does anyone know of any good websites where i can find good coilovers for a good price. Thanks i will have pictures posted soon of what the car looks like.

Welcome to the CL Family............1jz or 2jz is cheaper and more power than modding the 1uz.

A good set of coilovers to check out would be BCR's. One of our vendors on here, Circuit MS should be able to get you hooked up on a good set. If they're not what you're looking for, there are plenty of vendors in the Club Lexus Vendor forum that will get you set up with some coilovers.

I agree with you, work what you have.... and save you from the wiring gremlins..

Most people told me to swap to 2jzgte, but since I have a 2jzge I will just add the T and save me some cash and trouble
