Here is my stepfather's SC430 with HRE 540R in silver (F: 19x8.5, R: 19x10.0) with Bridgestone S03's (F: 245/35/19, R: 285/30/19) and TEIN Coilovers. What do you think? Opinions welcome!

Later,
Drew.

Very nice.. why did he go with a 285 instead of a 275 for the rear??? How is the ride with the coilovers and how much is it lowered???

He went with the 285 to ensure the sidewall was vertical. This also provides a little more protection for the wheel and a little more rubber on the road. Wheel offset in the rear was also adjusted so rubbing with the slightly wider tire would not occur.

I drive a 330ci with sport package suspension and his car rides just as smooth as my car. I think the ride of his car has stiffened up, but in a good way. The car is more surefooted, but not at all harsh.

I am not sure the exact amount that it was lowered, maybe 1.5-2 inches when we got the coils installed. The rears were adjusted so that you could at least put your pinky finger between the tire and the fender well. The fronts are all the way down I beleive. The car has also been balance and cornerweighted so the height was adjusted a little since they were installed. Another thing, when balancing, the mechanic set the camber as much as possible (without being out of spec) to accomodate for the suspension height.

That's an awesome looking ride your stepfather has there. The big question: Does he let you borrow it?

Did he use te adjustable dampening system on the coilovers?

These particular coils are dampening adjustable, but they are not the model that has the computer which changes them automatically. For the rears, adjustments are made from inside the trunk.
