SC430 Owners Wheel Size/Offset Roll Call
...my car is lowered, but on springs. I personally wouldn't know the difference in the ride between the coilovers. One thing to keep in mind, when lowering a vehicle, it's going to ride a little firmer/rougher. If you lower it an inch or two, you are taking away travel in the suspension, so the new setup has to keep the car from bottoming out & this is where the firmness comes into play. My car is dropped 2 inches & really doesn't ride that bad, but some bumps or rough roads will remind me that I'm literally on the ground...lol......good luck with your decision !!!

Considering a wheel set like this
19x10 on all 4 sides
offset +42
tires: 265/35/19 front and rear , no stagger.
Have not seen anyone in the posts with this setup. Anyone comment!? Yes, I will likely run D2 coilovers. Curious about Fitment . Looking for a clean stance, not overly aggressive.

have you used coilovers on previous cars and are there softer riding versions?

Yes I’ve never used coilovers so
you are correct, they are firm at the minimum setting. I thought they would be softer. I chose the D2s because of price and what I was told on the forum. A CL sponsor sold me the coilovers. I thought they seemed okay to give them a try. Plus there are virtually no options in the normal dampners for our cars.

Talk about a blast from the past. Did not think my post from 2017 would be seen by anybody ever again. @suebaileybuddy76 , over the years the TSW website has become generally more confusing. I tried replicating a search for the TSW Nurburgring and got nowhere. Possible that they simply do not make the Nurburgring in the correct size/bolt pattern etc etc for the SC anymore. I bought mine probably 10 or more years ago, guess things have moved on in the new TSW rim market ? Just my best guess. Sorry not to have better info for you ....

, but I weighed a stock rear wheel with a non-stock tire (Sailun Atrezzo 245/40ZR18) yesterday and it came to 50 lbs 5 oz. Without pie plate and bolts it was almost exactly 50 lbs.Specs on the tires say somewhere between 24 and 25 lbs new, so the stock wheels are in the ballpark of 26 lbs.
