I just wanted a smaller tire because the wheel width difference is 8" vs 8.5". I wanted a tire size more closer to the 225 because it's only a .5" difference. And 245 should have better response.

MA Audio 4" speakers all around, MA Audio 600w Amp, Lightning Audio cap, 10" Pioneer 1000w sub. I kept blowing my 600w MA audio subs so I bought the Pioneer one.

The SC trunk gets very hot and I noticed the AMP would cut off after playing for a while. So I took a computer cooling fan and cut the plexiglass and mounted on it. I ran the power wire to the cigarette lighter so I can use it whenever I need to. And I can hide it away when I'm not using it.

Total spent: $80 just for the sub and box







You need to flip the fan its pulling not pushing*

That's the exact setup I'm trying to get for my car. Did you roll the fenders because you were too low with that suspension setup? I will probably go with that if there is no rubbing issues because that is the height I'm looking for.

The grey 04 IS300 sportdesign is my brother's. The silver 01 GS300 is my other brother's. And the white 00 GS300 is my mom's.










I love your car bro, one of my favorites on the forums.
