Default New Shoes On MY SC....

well i already know wat everyone is going to say "you need to lower it man." and yes i know that trust me i'll get to that sometime in the future. but for only having my sc for 3 months i've done a lot to it. i love how its coming a long. the suspension i'm looking for is more of a stock comfort in ride but dropping it. any suggestions would be appreciated. and i know of the $1500 coilovers that i want. but if there is a cheaper setup please inform me. anyways enjoy!

Looks good. Will definitely look better lowered though, but you already said that. What suspension are you looking at?

Wow I love the front end of your SC. The wheels and exhaust aren't my taste but who cares what I think.

For suspension, definitely go with the classic Tokico struts with Espelir lowering springs. Only a bit stiffer than stock and give a 2in drop for only ~$500. Search my name for pics of mine.

I like the tinted headlights, did u use lamin x or some kinda spray?

also for the suspension, if your on a budget get the Tein Basics if all you care about is looks and want stock ride.. i paid like $714 shipped from staticX motorsports..

Everyone dogs that suspension but i bought them for my last SC, and i'm riding on a set of $1800 HKS coilovers on my new SC, and i'll tell you the Tein Basics are great if you want ride comfort and drop, they are just soft and don't offer much for someone wanting to hit some turns..

Good job so far. I would suggest supra tokico struts and supra eibach springs to lower your ride close to 2 inches and still have a relatively stock feel. For around 330 to 400 dollars you can't really beat that and the car will handle ten times better than it does now.
