Good work mate!
The rear brakes are exactly the same as the is200 I believe, so if you ever fancy a big brake kit let me know

Lexus are rather good at sharing parts...rear brakes as IS200/300 , front pads as GS430 but calipers are a one off to the SC.

I could tell the front shocks were past their best but I put it through the mot.....and it passed !!.... I have many speed humps around my way and could feel how the car crashed over the humps yet with the mot bounce test and not leaking successful it means a pass !
So shocks off the car ..and as you can see couldn't get the clamps on first two coils so going have to squeeze the others up tight Confusedad:

All back together and have cleaned the spring up....

No updates over recent months just been enjoying driving it....top up and down Smile

Have been trying to buy a decent pair of 7440 reverse LED bulbs but to date 2nd lot of old **** from the far east !
Both sets cheap and can be used in other places on the car but the reverse lamps are mounted lowdown and onboard , give a very poor light beam Sad
