Not really feelin the drop. I dont like the tucked look. How much of a drop was that? Say goodbye to your struts if you didnt upgrade them already.

To each their own but personally, after checking the pics, I agree that the tC looks better Pre-Drop. Am not a drop hater and think it looks nasty on some cars but the tC is not one of them. Sorry.

That is a hellava drop. Looks like more of a drop than trd gives you. How's the ride? I am guessing that it rides like crap.

I'd imagine that would definitely look much better w/ larger wheels, and even better if they were in gunmetal. I hope to get a Scion soon, just need to make sure my finances are in order, then a-ordering I go!

That drop looks good. I like the tuck look. I went with the H&R 1.4 inch drop. Didn't want to sacrifice the ride for .5 inch. The 1.4 drop rides like stock. I went with 19's though. Chek out pix.

Are you riding on stock shocks? I'm thinking about getting the H&R springs myself. I want to improve my suspension while still maintaining a comfortable ride.

Ran stock struts with H&R springs. Ride is great. Feels like stock. No camberkit needed for alignment.

Ok ok I was a little harsh at first, This is my review.

Drop is nice the main thing I think thats throwing people off is the wheel size. IMO it looks like those hatchback civics on 14" rims with a 4 inch drop lol. With the 18's He has in store It will look awesome. Also the stock wheels arent wide enough so the the back wheels sit in to much... Lets wait and see how nice it looks with the 18's are on...

HINT HINT Hurry up and get those 18's on
