I'm a new 04' 430SC owner. I bought the car with Lexus 5 spoke chrome 18" wheels with Dunlop run flat tires. After looking through this clubs beautiful cars, I'm sorry that I dished-out $1,800 extra for them. But live and learn the hard way. My question to you the experts is? I'm planning on keeping these wheels until the tires are worn-out. But in the mean time I'm looking to improve the handling and ride. I don't want the ride to be anymore harsh then what it is now. But I would like the car to handle better, so I was thinking of installing Daizen antisway bars. Should I install front and rear or just the front? Also, what do you think of installing Tokico shocks with them? Should I also buy springs too?
And can any ASA mechanic install them or should I go to Lexus or a specialty shop? I don't plan to go to hardcore with my car even though the one's I've seen are awesome. I plan to drive my car everyday and don't want to get any spoiler kits in fear of hitting them going up driveways, dips or speed bumps. But I was thinking of getting some 19" or 20" inch wheels later. But what width size do you guys recommend 9's or 10's in the rear and 9's for the fronts? And maybe drop the car 1 inch with a Eiback Kit. Also what kind of tires do you recommend for Southern California weather. ( A lot of rain at times) I really don't care for them to be runflats. That's why I have A.A.A. Sorry for so... many questions, but I would really appreciate your folks experience and technical advise.

A novice, but proud SC owner. :-)

defintely do both front and rear, you want to do that

email todd at todd@tmengineering.net about it for more info

 

I want to change my run flats to a normal tire. Looking at Michelin Pilot SP PS II. Any recommendations before I make the purchase?

 

I have Michelin pilot super sport summer tires. These tires completely change the ride. But I'm not sure about all season michelins. Either way expect a noticeable improvement in ride quality. Feel free to message with questions. I have been through the ups and downs of mods with this car
