It's good that so many options are available for us lexus owners. I was having conversation with a M3 buddy of mine on the limited performance options available for the M3 and the high cost associated with them compared to the Lexus V8's with Toyota pedigree such as the Supra.

Once I move shortly and have a 3 car garage vs my current 2 car, I will have the room for a real shop with tire changer,etc... and am serious about a custom s/c setup for the SC. I miss the boost of the GS.

I have to disagree here. Before my sc430 I had an BMW m3. Dinan did all my work for me. I was able to find any part I wanted. I had the full package with supercharger and suspension. Now My Sc430 is very difficult to find good proformance parts because the are not as many sicko's who want to mod this car. The Supra and other lexus models seem to have MUCH more availible.

I have to agree with you on that one, the sc430 wasnt really made to be a race car, plus its more expensive then most other lexus models, therefore the enthusiast market is not as high, but most stuff that works on the GS should work for this car, IE intake, boost, suspension, so its not too bad. People who buy an M3 expect it to be fast and want to make it faster, most people who buy a sc430 expect the top to come down when they hit that button and be reliable as well as comfortable.

I can mock up my C2 bracket for everyone. That way everyone can run a procharger setup. Just have to change the injectors, wire the piggyback, run the piping, make the intercooler........on second thought, maybe not......
