Look for them on the GS they are a direct fit to the SC.
I had a feeling they were from a 2GS. I'll look for a pair once I swap over to KW coils.

Put in 2 10" subs and a set of rims! Haven't gotten to lower her yet... When I do, do I also need new struts? or will coilovers be okay without any after-market struts?

Nice! Coilovers will include new shocks built into them, however, if you just choose to install lowering springs I do recommend replacing the struts at the same time!

Thanks for the feedback guys. I like the color combination too, but I'm not feeling it on my dwp car. If I had a black SC, then it would be a strong contender.

Polished + yellow and you've got the money shot! The polished wheels just look so damn perfect on white SC's.

Was gold or bronze ever one of your choices for the face? I remember you listed a few choices before; just not sure if it was one of them. I think a white car looks pretty good with the right shade of one of those. In regards to your calipers, I think i would prefer yellow over green. That green kind of glows in the dark to me. lol

Have always admired you car and the inspiration. Green calipers are my preference over the yellow on your car.... (could be the camera, but the yellow shade looks off to me....). Good luck on your choice... And, the chrome, shiny wheels are nice....
