What's up everyone? So for Christmas, I bought my girlfriend (l3LkatC24) Tein S.Tech Springs. I must say, without the "how-to" written by inevitablegod, things would have been much more time consuming. Good stuff!! We took our time, having dinner and lounging around halfway into the install. It took us about 4 to 5 hours including sitting around. Hehe. When all was done, the proud tC owner was in the corner smiling like a little school girl.

So here are some pics of the finished product:

Hey another jerseyan... where's that shopping plaza? It looks familiar...

 

[basilisk4]

Good job. It's funny, though -- if I lowered my fiance's car, I doubt she would even notice.

 

[Cheeky]

How much of a drop on the front and rear?

I'd only hear, "I didn't have to worry about speed bumps before, why did you mess up my car?"

She is truly the queen of stock. Her car has tint (she's a Florida girl-no suprise there) and better tires (she did complain loudly about the stock tires sliding in the rain). That's it. She's perfectly happy with the stock car.

Wait 'til I tell her I want to get an IS350...

i love how that looks. how does it drive? if you dont mind saying

The front is lowered 2.4in and rear is 2.0in. Don't quote me on that but i'm pretty sure.

The shopping complex is on Oak Tree Rd in South Plainfield

Don't mind telling at all. In my opinion, for how much the car is lowered the spring rates are rather soft. I would only recommend these to only those looking to lower the car while maintaining a stock ride and comfort. As far as auto-x'ing goes, I wouldn't get them.


I actually got her the springs because that was the first thing she wanted to do when she got the car. So I did her a favor.

She actually wants it a little lower. Personally, I think she's crazy. haha. I am pretty grateful that she knows a bit about cars. So she can fully appreciate a modified car.

^^^^

hehehehe... now, if only i can get him to drop a turbo in there...

 

[iGod]

looks good. damn, the s-techs drop it lower than i would be okay with in the front. its all i can do to keep my nose off the ground at a 2" drop on all four corners.
and, btw, glad something i did actually benefitted someone.

N1C3!

But what's up with the S13 with the S15 front end conversion and the 180sx tails? Those look like Advan to.....Hmmm.

I thought it looked familiar! I used to live down the street from there...

Ever thought of joining a Scion club? ScioNRG is in NJ and we have a lot of members from the area around here. I'm in New Brunswick now.

Ever since she got her tC, the tuning bug bit her. When we first met, she didn't really care too much about cars. I think it was the fact that she got a new car AND yoursciontc.com. Everytime I see her on the computer, she's always on this site. Now I'm starting to get all into the tC, looking for future mods and what not. With the addition to my car, it's another money pit!!

Yea, if you haven't noticed that's my car in the background in one of the pics.

The red rims are jdm (oOoOOooOOoo) Fortron Drag FG wheels. Supposedly, there're only four sets in the U.S. Other than that, just the basic s13 mods.

I'm trying to suck in my girl into a turbo setup.

It would be so cool. Both of us would be boosted.

Close enough to Edison

All of you Jerseyans should come to the Rockaway Mall meet tomorrow! 2PM at the back of the Food Court parking lot at Rockaway Mall in Dover.

If you can't make it, there's a huge every-type-of-car meet at Freehold Raceway Mall on Sunday night @ 7:30. I might go to that one too!

That is hilarious! That sounds just like me and my fiancee. He has a Dodge Neon and he is so jealous that I have a better car than him. I am BIG TIME into my car and modifying it. I think i get on his nerves talking about my car all the time but hey, can you blame me?? lol
