LOL JUST KIDDING!

so if Tim buys it from u, while ur in SoCal right now....are u doing to go drive back and pick them up so u can hand deliver them to him LOL
This is exactly what i was thinking. If you have them with you, and youre gonna come down to LA area, then ill buy them off you if everything works out. This way, u can save the hassle of shipping it, and i can save shipping price and you dont have to deal with paypal. white tc2's think alike KJ!

Box size: 27x16x8"
Weight: 29 lbs
Ships from: 03063

so you guys can all estimate the shipping and decide if its worth for you.

USPS I think will be the cheapest


BTW I will be in SB/LA area July 4th-8th

I prefer to deal with locals(US) first. Im not the one shipping it so I dont want to trouble my parents more than necessary
what KJ said, and if you have them with you, ill buy them off you. I dont even know where to get them installed if i do buy them off you though. lol but yea hit me up! =)

hey i dont know how mailing process works cause i never mail stuff, but i tried checking usps.com and the options they gave me were express mail($153), priority mail ($72), and parcel post ($35). i dont know what parcel post is, but i assume express and priority just means that theyre fast? is it possible to ship it through parcel?

also, i know you used it for about 2 months, but approximately how much miles did u put on them?

EDIT: SPRINGS ARE SOLD

Current line of ppl:

1. xtimxmayyx
2. Misterlu
3. CementTC
4. cilla820
5. ToyotaFanBoy

First person on the list has until Monday night to make the payment(105+shipping cost) to yura274@yandex.ru if not then it moves to number 2 and so on

My parent will have a day off on Tuesday so It's the most convenient day for them to ship it because they will be shipping the car stuff I forgot when I moved to cali

A couple days ago I finally decided to get Tanabe coilovers. I contacted Bean Garage and they informed me that Megan just released fully adjustable coilovers that costed much less. Tanabe coils dont have pillowball mounts nor the damping adjustment.

It ended up being an easy decision. Spencer at Bean Garage was really helpful and they currently have a promotional code to get an additional 5% off!
Use code: ScionEdge

not the best instructions.....but thats how it always is

haha thanks but its just just a name, Spencer could have assigned a coupon name "YouSuck" it's just we talked about my car and my website and later he happened to make the coupon after my site. Im not sponsored or get any other discounts except for the one im sharing here with you guys.



As for the coils, i've never seen one in person so just tinkering with them now to figure out how stuff works/adjusts. I'll be posting some of my discoveries/lernings soon

im figuring out how stuff adjusts. rear shocks have threads on them for height adjustment as well but there is nothing in the instructions about it. obviously the rear spring is the ones dictating the ride height but then I have to adjust the shock for full travel. I will be calling Megan for the procedure.

Also I figured full adjustment range:

front: 4.5" (thats without messing with a spring preload)
Rear: 1.5"

THe above arent max drop but the min/max range of adjustment aka maybe you can raise the front 1.5" and lower it only 3" and in the rear case It seems not enough range but maybe the highest setting on them would be 1" drop...IDK until I put it in the car.
