Hi blacksc400,

Congratulations on your UL!! It looks great!

I got my UL on Saturday too, it turns out the car is in pretty good condition.

I worked on it all day Sunday too, I waxed it and lowered it all the way down with the stock rod adjustment.

Don't have time to take pics yet, will do soon

I recently seen the prices go up . I've seen CLEAN stock-ish (lowered, wheels), manual BPU 1J SC's go for around $10K (92-94). More for the 95+. Of course they go higher and higher with exterior mods.

I am curious to see what what I'm looking at as far as trade + cash for my SC would run on a 04+ UL.

BTW: blacksc400 .... car looks good!

Thanks PJ, I would suggest sell the SC and get the UL.
There are few people would trade a 04+ UL for a SC, no bias, I have had both, but it is better off sell the SC first. You get more money out of it.

I hate teaser pics, but yet I check anyway

Are those the same wheels as your GS? Temporary right since you mention VIP Modular???

The car is lowered with air, with the stock wheels, the car feels bouncy, hard to describe, but I don't like it.
With the 20', the car feels a lot more stable, confident and more precise control.
Honestly, I was expecting worse ride but came out better.
