Pics new bbk,diazen,eibach
Ok so just got done with everything on my car and cleaned it up. Installed daizen uppers and lowers + sways, Didnt get to the rear because needed to order special tool to pop the ball joints. The bushings looked good anyway in the rear but man were the fronts bad! Also install eibach springs, tokico blues, new shock mounts and boots,ls 400 bbk, rotors and stainless lines. I rean into a couple problems like finding out i needed the tool for the rear when getting it half apart DOH!.
Other problems brakes! well the caliper will not fit a 93's mounts atleast you have to shave some of the casting in the rear to make the caliper not interfeer with the brackets. Not a big deal its all meat there and does not affect anything. I did have to add 5mm H&R spacers in the front because it was hiting the caliper by probably only a milimeter or 2. The rear lines i got sent from canada. Some how one of them didnt get threaded on the backside.
I found out one of the rear caliper slides was stuck, So i got 2 front a 95 for $75 shipped on ebay. I must have been riding around with it like this for who knows how long. Well enjoy the pic, even though i know some of you are 20" haters

I'm also thinking I should have maybe shot for some coilovers because I would like to tuck a bit. Its seems to be about the same height as before maybe because the bushing were bad only more even. Maybe they will settle maybe I will cut one coil off which I know is a big nono. . Next on list, exhaust, 2 way lsd, bodykit hmm the possibilities........

nice though, how does it feel with the daizen upper and lower? my friend said that he did not do it on his car because it would make it rough, is yours harsh? big diff?..

Twisted - Nice, nice, nice, just when I think there are no longer any super clean tan early model SC400 like mine I see yours...Sweet, wish I had your brake setup...What car are those black lexus calipers from? Mounting won't fit that stinks, I too had a big brake let down.....
PS.. Say good bye to your front little black spoiler, with the Eibach drop you will scrap and shred it away....However there is a trick, remove all the medal inserts in the spoiler strip, this will allow it to become flexable, you will save it as I have done...No damage from scraping for what is now been a year for me, spoiler strip is in new condition from the flexing action...
