Okay, I finally got my springs and struts installed with the help of PCMW and Hermosa. The drop is supposed to be 1.3 inches in the front and 1 inch in the back, but it looks like my rear end is dipping a bit from all the crap I have in my trunk. I'd say the effect on ride comfort is marginal, but body roll is completely gone from my testing so far. Here are some rough pics, sorry for the bad lighting (the garage's, not the car's )...

Thanks 4HUN, I eventually plan on getting a new kit for the whole car because the stock ground effects suck, but that's a whiles away.

I feel the same way. I am still torn between getting a new car or just putting some money into mine.

The problem: I come to this site and see some great looking SC's (like yours), and I begin to think how I should mod mine. Then I drive around and see other cars I like and I lose track. I need to do something.

Plus Insurance would be the exact same as I pay now on a newer 98 GS400 (for example). Go figure. This factor, alone, makes me want a different car.

O well, just keep posting pics of your car and maybe someday Ill do something!

Looks good!
It's like Night and day: driving a dropped SC vs Stock.

Lex400sc,

That's only a 1.3" drop? I thought it was 2 inches or something... looks very nice... can't wait to get mine done!

BTW, do you have an HID kit fitted into the high beams as well?
