Default My 98 SC400
Got this 98 Pearl White about a month ago and it was towed by a flat bed directly to my friend's body shop. The OEM body was replaced with Shine Project Kit with a fresh matching coat of paint. This newly born Lexus is wearing Megan Coilovers with Varrstoem ES222. Front 19 x 9.5 with 245 shoes and Rear got 19 x 10.5 with 275. I was told my by body guy that the Shine Kit fits perfectly. No mods needed. The offset is 25mm all round. The front and rear fender need to be roll and slight negative camber. One thing nice about the newer SC is that everything work. I was also told that this VVTi engine was rebuild recently. However, it will be coming out soon to make room for the 470TT. Here are some pictures. Comments are highly welcome....
