you can't go wrong with brembo. just make sure your offsets allow enough room for your wheels to clear it. like the name say, it's a big brake kit.

Anyone have pictures of SC430s with 20s and not lowered? Or someone with nice 18s and not lowered?

before



after



the biggest difference is the rear. you have a huge gap if you don't lower it.

Posted this in the Wheel Alignment thread as well.. "Ok, so I'm way new at this and was wondering if.. these will fit. According to the chart that Rominl posted it will, but I just wanted to know if it will sit close to "flush"? (I'm assuming that flush means everything lines up)

20 X 8.5 +20

20 X 10 + 25

Thanks for bearing with me lol."

those should fit fairly flush. you'll probably have some rubbing going over bumps. but the tires will wear through the liner and it'll be fine.

no problem. just so you know, that is a fairly aggressive fitment, so you might run into rubbing issues. worst case scenario, you have to roll your fenders. i don't think you'll have to, but it's possible.

Is fender rolling a pretty task to do? I really didn't want to do anything after lowering the car. Hmm hope it doesn't rub.

I've never done it, so I don't know for sure. I've heard it's not too difficult, but I personally wouldn't want to do it. You could go a little more conservative on the offsets if you're worried about it.

Unfortunately the next available offset would be +40 and I would probably need to buy spacers. :/
