Yup. Springs lower the front more than the rear, and to my knowledge, no spring can tuck the rear like that.

I saw this guy a couple weeks ago. Did he have a Puma badge or something on the back too?

Saw a goldish color SC300 last night around 10pm near 101 and Hellyer. Lowered with wheels and exhaust. I also saw this same car earlier last week IIRC near Stevens Creek and San Tomas.

Glad to hear its still on the road.. i really miss that car. Is it still rolling on those black 19's with a chrome lip? The guy who bought it got a steal for sure.

May have been Roger's brother, he lives around there, but he doesn't have exhaust.
Was this it?

That would be the one but it definitely had an exhaust or muffler. Do you know what kind of wheels those are?

Thats my brother's SC. I was actually driving it up and down 101 last night. I had just finished converting it from automatic to 5 Speed. I also went ahead and threw on the Fidanza 2 piece flywheel, MVP header, and HKS exhaust we had in the garage. It feels great.
