Default im back in the sc430 club

i had a previous 02 sc430, but had to get rid of when i had my son 2 years ago. i just bought a 05 pebble beach edition black diamond pearl pimento red interior and im in love again....

qick questions im staying stock wheels but can i put 30mm spacers h&r on the rears only? i found 30mm h&r for a rav4 fitment with the same center bore and lug setup, but will it fit the sc430 or does it have a different d iameter..?

When i was doing research before I bought my 05 i think i read somewhere that the 02-04 have a rougher suspension and they softened it for 05 for a more "Lexus" quality ride. I wish i had the PB edition SC. I absolutely love the red interior. Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to get one my garage.

I did the same thing....25mm spacers in the front and 30mm on the rear. I also used H&R. They look great on the car but I had a vibration issue that I am still working out. Tire place said it is the spacers, removed them and still have the problem but not as bad. I say it is the tires and that will be a spring time change.

i have no vibrations, maybe because i left the front tires factory. i kind of like the front tucked in more than the rear, gives it a more staggered look..
