troner Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Hi everybody, I am the proud owner of an SC300 year 94 with 43K miles and I am arranging various aspects of the car, just bought shock absorbers K&B GR-2 and I want to buy springs for lower the car a little, no more than 1 inch, I read in the post that most of you are using Tanabe or Eibach springs but I want to know which is better, Eibach is a bit more expensive and I do not know if there is a justification to pay this differential, my question is what do you recommend, Eibach or Tanabe?.

LexusLuthorSC4 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 yeah definaty eibachs. theyre the only spring you can put on the sc400 without effecting the camber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soldiersoto Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 here is the front and back a few days later close up. the tire gap to fender is more than a finger but less than 2. the ride it gives me now is a bit ruffer than stock but alot tighter and more responsive. i didnt buy the car to drive miss daisy so this is what i was looking for. its not so bad of a ride even tho its more stiffer. it is fairly similar to the stock ride of a T-Bird or camero or some thing with a similar wheel base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexusLuthorSC4 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 do ur tires wear funny at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldiersoto Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 As of right now im not experiancing any tire issues if the camber is off it not noticable at this time. i also have no bottoming out issues either but i still take speed bumps and othe obsticles with caution another thing that i find perticullary weird is most times when lowering a car you need a aligment, but my car retains perfect aligment! maybe just a weird fluck huh.

LexusLuthorSC4 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 yeah, if you only drop it an inch, these cars are really good at holding the alignment. tanabe or eibach, an inch is an inch. i just said eibach cause they have a bigger reputation. looks really nice though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldiersoto Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 yea im happy with it! also i dont know how other people drive their rides but i like to get on the throttle a bit in the twisties. its great in the curves. and over all handles a bit better with my spirited driving heres an other pic i took today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldiersoto Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 :whistles: i'd actually wish more people would post more pics of their mods for the common guy like me to view. i dont think my car's the greatest but i hope my pics help others choose springs and strut / wheel combos to fit their needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rustiness looks awful. I want to lower my SC, but I am afraid that it will affect the ride too much, or bow the rear tires in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexusLuthorSC4 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 ease off a bit. im sure its on his list. Also I said this before. eibachs and tanabes wont effect the camber and it will effect the ride but in a postitive way. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldiersoto Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 yea i got pain that and i also have to put those air dams things back in. and im gonna paint those all at the same time. i took them out to adjust my head light and now more light gets in there and my rusty rotors are really noticeable. but honestly i got other things im more focused on. im trying to fix my interior so its gonna be crusty for a bit :cries: i just pulled the car out of storage so shes a bit crusty :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolyaw Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I would like to go with Eibach's but I am finding that they have been 'discontinued'. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
