I tested out the rear brace today, and I can definitely say that it feels a lot more stable. I took a really fast turn, and the car held up a lot better, even my wife noticed.

Can't wait to get the sways in. I'll eventually change out this rear brace for the ingalls version. It won't be anytime soon though ^^

 

show today? where? wat time to when? kinda short notice i would have gone if i knew and it was a day show...

 

this is what you talking about:

05+ Scion TC Ingalls Rear Strut Tower Brace (4 Point)


its better to get this than to get a greddy rear strut bar?

 

Yes. A lot better. But it does require some extra modification to install. Your are going to have to drill 2 extra holes.

The greddy and monster motorworks use the stock bolts and they are only 2 point braces.

I was going to get it, but I have to much left to do on my car, and I didn't want to add something extra that would require additional drilling/measuring. Maybe in the future after i'm done with my engine, i'll get it.

I just installed the strut bar woot, it was easier than I thought. I need some additional washers though to even it out. Since I have the ingalls etd, one side of the strut bar is sort of slanted. Easy fix.

All I have left to install is the c-pillar later tonight, and the coilovers arriving in the mail. then i'll be almost done w/ the suspension. RAWR!

 

lmao guys i found that drunk guy video.

good for you i got tokico shocks, hotchkis springs, front strut bar ( megan)
what i need: rear sway, rear strut or this rear bracing stuff... i really want that c pillar bar what peter has but he never tells mewhich one is that.. because thats not the megan one.

im okay with the drilling a new hole.. but i dont know if there would be space to put back all that black container ( or what) to the two side of the spare tire..
if yes then i would go with the ingalls because if i get greddy then im gonna have that bar on the middle when i fold down my rear seats if i want to put there a big plasma tv to take it home or something :D

 

check out some of the pics i snapped today at that car show, it was mostly classics, and like 8 ricers but nothing worth pics.

juan!!!!!!!!!!! had a great time at the party and so did lety!!!... had a good time with all the homies again...

SAVAGE GARDEN ROCKS!!!!!!!! lol

 

it was the stoptech stage 2 kit, but i went with EBC redstuff pads not the axxis they give you. gonna do the rears next this friday and hopefully it will go smoother.

 

nice! did you go drilled or slotted? i just got my slotted ones on friday. i didn't get the stage 2 kit because i had other plans for it. so i just got the slotted rotors and dexod brake pads.

 

Joanne - I passed you today on the palmetto... but are you talking about me? or another AP? I waved at ya when i drove by

 

jason - yep slotted rotors here, they look nice with the black centers. maybe ill do the calipers in black to match /shrug

 

cool. im doing mine red. damn, i wanna see yours in person. go to the meet! lol. im dying to put mine in but i gotta get some brake fluid - i woke up late today so i was like f-it.

 

^ i'll try, i have early class weds night so maybe ill swing by. yeah definitely was an all day project for myself but mainly because of the SS lines, one side went in fine no problem, the other i was on it for almost 2 hours trying to figure out what the hell was wrong. i ended up taking the hardline out of the engine bay to have more room to work.

that aside, the rotors are indeed beautiful

 

Can't wait to see em

Im waiting on that new BPV. Hopefully ill have a car to go to the meet wed. Im dropping it off tomorrow to have the clutch/flywheel installed

 

how long did they say it was gonna take?

 

^IDK, hopefully ill get it back by wed. By the way am i gona loose my tranny fluid?
