white tc2's think alike KJ!Correction: they are 2 months old. I just looked through my thread to see when i installed them.
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

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

yes the springs are sold
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.
