Hey this is my dad's car. I had a thread about my dad buying a 02 white sc430 with 24k miles and end up buying the pebble beach instead.

Can you tell me how much the BC coilovers? Are they off the shelf products that I can get in LA? I am currently on holidays for a few days in LA so I am thinkig of buying them and hand carry them back on the plane to Australia.

Your wheel sepup is too aggressive.
Fender mods are definitely needed in order to avoid rubbing.
If you lower it, the fenders as well as your tires will be destroyed in no time.

I think your tire specs are a little off.
Why F:245/35 R:275/35?
It should be either F:245/35 R:275/30 or F:245/40 R:275/35 (fat setup).
Stretched tires like F:225 R:245 might be a better option for your setup. imho.

id have to double check the tire sizes. but its not going to be slammed. its just lowered. big difference. since my dad doesnt want to deal with going over speedbumps/parking garages

If that is the case, forget about the stretched tires.
I would just change the rear tires to 275/30, so the overall diameters of 4 tires are more consistent.

Yes

he could still run into problems with potholes. he could damage a fender if he hits one on the highway. you really don't want the wheels to stick out beyond the fenders.

I had similar offsets with my 02 with 19"'s and I had some rubbing and although I hardly drove the car one time I did go over a pothole and it chewed up the inside of the fender and I had some cupping on the inside of the tires due to rubbing also.

IMO the wheels look GREAT, but you can even tell from the pics (especially the rear) that they will rub...maybe even the front...with any drop. Is it dropped right now already????

I had 275/30/19 for my rears...talwang is right...that would not only look better but also be safer. Is there any way you can take the tires back and get 30's?

Have you considered not lowering? IMO the height is not bad at all. (coming from someone who has 20's and not lowered, lol). I did not lower my 02 with 19's. Just a thought.
