just get coilovers..
coilovers are the best way to go.. if your budget is limited
you don't always have to ride that low.. but when a show comes around you can slam it like that
and coilovers are the best because you can actually witness first hand when people say it isn't practical to drive like that.. and then you can lift it a little.

For lowering, you might use Tein coilovers or you just save money but with the same performance and look by using a set of Tanabe NF210 along with a net set of Tokico shocks. However, you have to cut 1/2 coil for the front and use the whole shock bump stop for the rear. The gap between the fender and the tire is about 1.5 fingers all around. This way, it looks like you're using coilovers because there's no lowering springs can give an even height all around. Also, it rides smooth like stock. I'm using this setup on my SC400 with Vis body kit. It's a little low when pulling out from the driveway to the street but it's doable with skill.
I think the dude probably got his situation taken care of by now being as this thread is over a year old!!!!!!!!!!

LOL. I'm glad you noticed.

I was just waiting to see people will realize this and let the thread die naturally before taking more drastic measures to put it out to pasture.

Does anyone know where to get the longer wheel studs for a 1995 Lexus SC400? I need the studs that have the length of 2.5". I've been looking all over the net but could not find anything, except from ARP Studs which cost $9 each piece. What a rip off! Please help!
