so yr getting the ones my bf didn't want. Cos the guy offered Sap and Sap wanted them but I reminded him that he shouldnt spend to omuch on car all at once. So the guy said that if Sap didn't get them, another person would be interested. I guess that other person is you chicka.

 

 

sorry love but at least it's going to my girl =)

 

Hope she abuses them well

 

Ok, finally dropped! Thanks to my friend Mike who works at Toyota for doing this for me at the tune of 35~ish$ which included misc parts for his broken gas powered RC, and a delivered McD's #9 while he was working on this.

Took him about 5 hours, but 1-1.5 of that was waiting for another tech who was on the clock to use the spring compressor as mike wasn't on the clock for this :D

anyway, here are before and after pics, measured from all sides for you guys, resized and ready for SL as well.

The before shots as you're all used to seeing of my tC, but for the sake of completeness of this post, here they are for anyone looking for H-Techs lowered on an otherwise stock tC.

Love that curb rash! It's my first car and I wasn't the best driver, nor was I used to this car after driving my mom's Lexus GX470 for 8 months before getting this. New wheels and tires ordered and should be here beginning of next month though :D









And my personal favorite :D The after shots! WOOT!







Rides really well, better than stock IMO, and takes corners better and has less body roll, stiffer handling, just really nice.

Some people don't think H-Techs are low enough, I disagree, I think it's perfect for 18's when mine come in because I don't like tucking and don't want to risk rubbing, plus I live in Bellevue, WA/Seattle, WA, and our terrain is a bit on the hilly side, just a bit

Thanks for looking!

 

looks good! Post up more pics in a few weeks and let's see how much they settle.

 

Looking good.........give it a couple of weeks and it will sit like mine does.......once it is settled it is agreat look........catch you later.

 

haha, that's a negative. but i think i know who your talking about. i got mine for the same price from a vendor here. where'd you ge yours from?? PM me if you don't wanna shout it out.

funny thing is i thought you bought them from that guy.

 

the rear will settle alot, mine took about 3 months

 

yeah, i plan to post up pics in a few weeks, hopefully around the same time I get my wheels, and i'll post before/after the settling with the stock wheels and then the new wheels

measurements around were
front wheel stock: 26.1in ish
rear wheel stock: a tiny smidge under 27in
front bumper stock: 8in ish
rear bumper stock: 12.5in ish

to

front wheel lowered: a smidge under 24.5
rear wheel lowered: almost exactly 25.75
front bumper lowered: 6.1 ish
rear bumper: just under 11.5

 

so which one is the best to use?

 

^^^the best matches ive seen (including mine) have been dupont paint.

 

 

^^ that tip looks way TOO close to ur bumper. u might want to move that down a bit or else ull get a real burnt look on it... ur bumper that is.

 

do they have it in the spray paint cans you can order?

 

or the paint can melt on yr exhaust
like mine did

 

yes def. PM cos im so confused lol! hit me up laterz with yr price quote

 

Thanks kiddo!

 

So are any of the north east FM owners going to be at HIN in VA this weekend??? I'll be there. Stayin in the hotel connected to the convention center.
