Default SC400 Suspension

I currently have 19x8.5 @34 (245/35) and 19x10 @38 (275/30) and am looking for some experienced suggestions regarding a lowering spring and shock combo.
It's a weekend driver and of course long road trips. I'm looking to maintain some comfort and no rub.

Thanks in advance!

Tanabe and tokico blues. Nice ride comfort overall. Been on this combo for about 6 months now. Never looked back. People are going to tell you to get coilovers but if you want to have cut or trim fenders then you can just use what i suggested. Jmo. Anything lower might rub unless you like negative camber. And buying tires. Let us know.

honestly with those offsets the front wont rub with a coilover type drop but the rear fender lips will need to be rolled.


im one of the people that will say get coilovers they are only a little more and are better... well some are


but if your stuck on struts and springs a couple guys on here swear by the gixxer drew bilstein hyper coilover setup

Are you kidding me? My SC have this set up and I hate the height of it. It's monstrous beside any car... The ride is really nice though...

Gixxer_drew is pretty much the best non-coilover suspension you can do.
