I'm glad to hear that. I was waiting for Eibach to develop a set of srpings but thet scrapped the project.

Any other mods that may be available ? I'm more of a "tuner" than a cosmetic guy. I'm hoping to find a larger throttle body as well as other engine/exhaust/drivetrain add-ons.

Thanks !

Larry ...
Just for the heck of it ... not that I would want one or anything, I went to the Injen site but could not find any reference to the SC430, although I did find something under Toyota for the GS, LS and the earlier SCs. Where would I get some information about this animal ... not that I would want one ....

Ed,

Check "injentech.com" and look under the GS430. It's the same.
