i'd have to say go with the is300 wheels, looks better imo. i was never a fan of the sc430 wheels.

I'm a fan of both. I guess it depends what style you are going for. Luxury look would be the sc wheels, and the is would be if you are going sporty-lux. Either way!

To get that even, probably coilovers.

^ could be the 1.8" front & 1" rear combo.

I can't recall who sold that set.

But yeah otherwise H&R & others will sell you a 1", 1.5" all around, and the ***-end is gonna sit lower.

The tein s-tech gives you the best stance all around. The tanabe springs ride a bit higher in the back.
