Lowering the XB for NOPI
Getting my car lowered with the TRD springs thursday. Just got the rims so I didn't want to spend the money on lowering it but I didn't want to go to NOPI without it being lowered.
Thank God for plastic!

Hey, I think you are the one that works with my Brother. I told him you can have mine, they are just sitting in the garage. Just be careful, it sounds like you know what you are doing. On another note, what a small world.

That is me! Your brother just started working with us and he is in training for field service/ instalation. I have been overwhelmed this past year and I need a backup. It is a small world.
I knew that I should have kept this to myself Just keep in mind that if you do heat springs, you don't want to do the top or middle. Start @ the bottom and work yourself up until you get the desired drop.
On another note.... I did not mean to jack this thread,sorry Mr. Sull.
See you Saturday.

Uhh, well I wasn't really being serious but sure, why not. I'm just going to through them away. If you want em you can have em. Know anyone that wants the stock rims with some tires? I want to sell mine for like $50 bucks. They only have 5K on them and have a lifetime warrenty
