Talking Finally Got An SC430, I Can Now Officially Join This Elite Group in CL !

Hi to everyone. I have been lurking thru CL for a while now. Going thru an SC400, GS430, LX470, and now ending up with what I have always wanted. The sexy Black '02 SC430.

I will be trying to follow your footsteps and trying to take my SC430 to another level. Got to start over now and try to save more $$$ since I spent most of it on this car.

Hopefully soon there will be some rims and BBK. I will be needing everyones help in doing some research and finding answers. I hope everyone has alot of patience.

I am in South FL by the way. If there are some members here locally I would love to meet you. Any local meets around ?

Looking forward to getting to know you guys here on CL.

Congrats on your new addition to the family. Certainly got the right color. I think the 430 looks best in black. You must be near, that looks like a JMLexus tag frame on the rear. If no SC430 guys speak up, I'll meet you for pics and whatever.

It looks good in black. We've had our AR SC since 02 when they first came out. Its a good car. We're in Sarasota... You live down by Miami area? Definitely get some rims...these stock "things" are horrid.

John, if you still have the run flat tires, consider changing them out first to see how differently the car handles. Then I would suggest larger anti-sway bars next.

Oh - check to make sure that this car has had the change in the rear bushings from Lexus [sometime in '03 or '04]. The early '02's had to have a factory mod. The rear "clunked" when going over train tracks, bumps, etc.
Congrats!
