Default I wanna be slammed... Any help is very appreciated!

I recently just bought my 05 Scion TC and I got it for super cheap but now I must dump quite a bit of money into it to get it where I want.

Someone had bought the car before me and they had put just a body kit on the front So I had to replace that with a stock front bumper and they put on a E-Bay N1 Exhaust. I have looked at the Rokkor Coilover thread and since this car was bought to be slammed and maybe poked a bit... I am going to order those coil overs Friday.

My next question is once my car is on the coil overs can I max them out? When I see people doing the perch removal how do I go about that? I am gonna be ordering a lip kit and 17x9 Rota Grid Wheels in black next week. I need to know what size tires you suggest so after I roll my fenders I wont eat up the sidewall of my tire...

Do I need to buy a camber kit or anything special to have it ride that low? My car needs tie rods so I will do them when I put the coil overs in.

1. Search.

2. There is an official rokkor / race land thread. Search that and read through. Plenty on how to drop it stupidly low.

3. You will want to also learn how to change cv boots like mad.

Prepare for the comments. You're "SlowAndLow," with 3 posts, yet you have no idea on how to achieve that? A simple search will give you tons of answers. You lack creativity/style so you want people to just tell you how to do it?

Asking for help on a forum on how to setup the coil over is not lacking style and I am not asking anyone to do it for me. I have been reading the forums but didn't get a clear idea of it and misunderstood. Isn't that what this forum is for? Getting help from others? Obviously with my current post count I am new. I have never spent a lot of time on a forum and don't know much about them so excuse me for asking a question.

As far as being stupid low... It's my car, I ain't building it for you... I got a lot of respect for guys who have done that to there car already. When we buy our cars, no one made me sign a waiver saying I won't do this to my car... It's a automatic, I paid 3000 bucks for it. I didn't buy it to build a drag car, I need something to drive while I finish getting all my parts from Darrel *** for my SRT-4.

I simply posted a thread asking for advice and help on how to set the coil overs so when I got them in I had an idea of what I needed to do.

if youre buying the rokkors...just unthread the bottom of the coilover and remove one of the locking rings and youre done with your "perch removal". no you wont need camber kit...and youll probably wanna run 215/40 maybe 215/35...17x9's wont give you too much trouble...

its pretty much trial and error...with a lip kit, on 17's, and rokkors, youll probably be sitting on the ground, so you might not want to remove any perch rings at first...just max out the coilovers and see if you wanna go any lower....oh youll also want a fender roll and slight pull, along with cutting the bumper clips and bending or grinding down the metal fender tabs.

Like I said in your other thread, everything you're asking has already been answered more than once. If you can't find it, either you're not looking or not looking hard enough. Anything someone would tell you here is just repeating info that's already posted on this forum.
