Ok thanks, I'll edit my post. Thanks, that's what I thought too. Uhm...289k miles lol, its a lot but it still runs good and still roars. If it ever broke down, I think I would cry....literally hah.

 

Welcome! Your car looks great! And deff go with the Varrstoen..its what i'm going with. 18x9.5 +12 18x10.5 +15 ...youll have to roll the fenders though to get them to fit..but they are one of the best looking wheels I think on our cars.

 

Hey you guys I just wanted To say what's up I just picked up a sc300 5speed. I'm a toyota guy and had a ls400 first gen but I got tired of it and sold it to buy a BMW e34 and I got tired of that too so now I have me a sc300. I wanted to buy a is300 but I think that will have to wait until I'm done with this sc build. Lol but yeah. I also drive a 1975 Toyota celica and a 1992 Toyota mr2. Well any ways I'm lookin for coilovers and rims for the sc. I'm on a budget right now. I want to buy some Megan racing LP coils and for rims I'm thinking of stock is250 wheels or stock G35 19inch rays. Give me your guys thoughts what road I should go and what not. But I really want coilovers asap I super dislike stock height ! Ohh I also want to get a good sound system how should I go about with that. Thanks for the input.

congrats on joining the sc crew. first steps would be to scour this forum with the search button at the top for answers to most of the questions you asked. there should be topics on most of it. there are people running the g35 wheels and many audio threads. also we use the classifieds section on the main club lexus page for finding parts. people get uppety when try to buy or sell here in the sc section...lol. lets get some pics of your ride up and go from there. welcome. enjoy the sc feeling.

 

wow finally someone with higher mileage then me! lol and it is impressively clean for that high mileage. must have been a long commuter car. silver on black is one of my favorite combos. lot of potential there. these guys can be a great help with getting set up. i agree with them lower it first. i got my car with wheels already installed and no drop and it looks like ***. lol. have fun! laters.
edit: where you at in texas? im in houston. im always interested to see other houston sc owners and maybe once there is enough of us we can ride out. yeah sc fleet..

 

For coils, I recommend PBM/Powered By Max. They're pretty stiff but are great for the price.
As for wheels, the g35's are nice but they're going to be way sunken unless you get some spacers, same for the is250 wheels.
Sound system, just make sure to bypass the stock amp and run your own wiring rather than using a plug and play harness with whatever headunit you buy. For some reason a lot of noise/whining comes through the speakers and it sucks.

Other than that search the forums for anything you need and welcome!

 

Like everyone else is saying, invest in some coilovers if your budget allows or at least springs. It all depends on what you're going for, performance, or keeping the ride close to stock in terms of ride quality. For coils I recommend PBM, but they may be too stiff for what you might want. Just do some research on the forums and poke around. Read a lot, there's a lot of useful info on here. And also, I could get you a PDF of the factory service manual so shoot me a private message if you want it.

Trust me, you'll want it.

And good luck with the car!

 

Congrats and welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

just wanted to say hah!

 

Welcome, sounds like you've got some plans in mind. check out some of the vendors on this site for good deals on coilovers.

As for wheels, I've never personally been a fan of G35 wheels on our cars but hey it's your car and you can do what you want.

There are LOTS of threads about stereo systems on here as well. Do a little searching around the SC300/400 forums as well as the Stereo Forum and you'll find lots of good info.

 

welcome to CL

 

congrats on the 5 speed

 

I'm also in Houston, well Humble to be exact. I see the same 2 lexus SC300 around highway 59 and FM1960, one of them is jade green with big ol 20" chrome rims hah. Ridin' out would be cool, I don't know about you but I'm going to Coffee and Cars saturday.

 

thanks you guys yeah ill post some pictures soon. And yeah ill use the search button, i just wanted to give you guys an idea of what i was trying to do and just wondering about your thoughts thats it.
