The Tien CS are very comfortable and more of a high-end coilover coming from Tien. You won't get a track feel, but will gain much more improvement with a stock feel.

Welcome, search and read the stickies and you'll have all the info you need and then some. There's a suspension forum up there as you see for suspension questions.

nice pick up! looks good. id say you should get the auto couture kit. its a very nice and subtle kit. and if you do decide to go that route, you could send the 97 front bumper this way! id be glad to take it off your hands!

but yea..id say lower it, kit it, rims, exhaust, then interior or engine, whichever you decide

i spent a total of $7k for the car and i am VERY interested in getting the auto couture kit, but it is pretty pricey and it kinda just looks like the 97 front with a lip. maybe if theres a lp out there for a 97, i should grab it

yeah thats what i'm trying to do. basically step by step what you said.
lower it, look for a set of lips if there are any nice ones out there, rims for sure(kinda thinkin about stern st-7's but not quite sure yet) and then maybe adding a double din navi in the interior, and then straight on to the engine. I'm very VERy interesting in purchasing a turbo kit in the future, its that or an swap. If i go with the swap, i want a 2jzgte or a 1jz but i don't know very much bout the 1jz.

well heres a pic of the rims I'm kinda leanin towards to. Trying to get them in 19"s. Tell me what you guys think about these on an SC

Hi everyone! Name's Rich and I don't have a sc300 yet, but plan to purchase one very shortly.(next few months) I own a 02' Nissan sentra spec V currently and while I love the car, I need something in a rwd platform, that provides the same or slightly more room. Luxury is nice as well. I'm mechanically inclined and have always been known to crack a motor or two open to mod or repair it. I look foward to getting an sc300 and finding out what exactly I can do to make it an insane sleeper/luxury ride. I've only briefly read a few things here and there about the sc300 and what some have done with them. I plan on searching a lot and would love to have any basic advice in regards to my sought after purchase and plans. Thanks and I hope to be a benefit in some way to your community.
