I am looking at putting 19 or 20's on my SC400, so I am looking for something that will take away that monster truck look and still give me a decent ride.
Where can I get the best deal on lowering springs and shocks and what brands should I look for?

I have no advice other than perhaps think about an adjustable height and ride harshness set of coil over struts. This is the best of both worlds. You will have infinite tunable ride quality with the struts and also a wide scope of lowering options.
Tein makes a set and I do believe there are perhaps some others that would fit the SC400. The larger diameter wheels result in thinner sidewalls. Overall, you will find the ride with thinner sidewalls firmer and handling will be better given the tire used. On the downside, the lux'o cupe' ride of the SC will get a wee bit more harsh. I think that is a good enough reason to have the tuneable struts. You may be able to dial back in some comfort or dial out some comfort depending upon your venue.
I do not think there are good deals on these coil overs however, you are probably in the $1200 range for a set of 4.
