New Sc430 Owner Looking For Some Advice, Nothing Boring :)

[Frosted]

Hi , I would like some advice regarding my sc .

1. I need some uprated brakes , can anyone shed some light on which petit ulnar Lexus and Toyota models will make my sc stop properly ? I'm after a bolt on kit , cheaper the better . Does the supra stuff fit ?

2. Suspension suspension suspension , I have around 600-900 quid set aside for this , what do you recommend, would like to lower it an inch or so , nothing extreme . Guys in the us like the Megan stuff , worth it ? Wouldn't say no to oem stuff , again if you tried it please let me know how you got on

3.Handlng ...... No ideas , recently went from 245 40 18 to 235 40 18 and it's made a big difference . Struts etc ... I'm listening

4.Can I make the throttle more responsive ?

Anything else you guys can think of please let me know. I'm not a mechanic , however my friend knows a lot more people than me :) so hopefully I will not be charged top whack on labour

to date done;

Wheels refurb

Tpm removed

Tires

And hopefully this week fix the crappy aerial

Thanks

Mike

Hi guys , could really do with some advice . Would changing the discs pads help with stopping this beast or bigger brakes needed . I saw the supra stuff fits question is , the standard stops better or do I have to spend 2k for the brembo upgrade ? Really and truly would like to spend under 600 if possible

Have the brakes been checked out, as they should be responsive and bring even these weighty machines to an abrupt halt!

Hi Mike, I find the standard brakes on my 2002 SC430 are perfect, are you sure you need to change them?

Here comes one idea of making the throttle a little bit more responsive. Got it from Harold57 at the US lexus forum.

If you want to reset the ECU without losing your seat and stereo settings, perform the following procedure:

1. Get in your car and insert key. (It doesn't matter if you close the door or not.)

2. Turn the key to the on (not start) position.

3. Press the gas pedal to the floor.

4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas pedal.

5. Wait 2 minutes.

6. Remove key.

7. Done
