Definitely boss :D

I was actually looking at your ride because with your wheels at a 35 offset it is exactly how my car is going to sit. I'll be honest, I LOVE how your car stands :D

haha thanks man. i'm gona have a few pics taken this week, since i get on spring break tomorrow and i'll have more time to do isht to it.
are you still going to run 225's? or did you/are you going to run 215s? cause i rubbed a bit when i was just on springs with 225s.

Checho

well on Htechs I don't rub at all with my 225's, i think imma keep the 225's for now man, got em brand new from Falken so I don't see the need to sell em yet

shinjitai

Did some experimenting with my stockers. This is supposedly the lowest we can go in the front. this isnt settled yet so, i'll see if they go any lower. My fender to the floor measures 23 inches.


+ the scion key for reference
and i can keep going lower in the rear.

Yanki01

hit a chunk of tire, lip is somewhere on the freeway, fog popped out. this all happened about 4 months ago. just had no time to fix it, but i'll be installing a new lip, bumper, fogs, grilles all this or next week.

shinjitai

nice aroddalobster! It could use a little more tuckage, but it looks very nice with that stance. I wanna flush mine too.

oh i can't tuck til i run way more camber cause or my suv tires will make loud love to my fenders. i already rub enough, you can ask anyone that's been in my car before.

shinjitai your tC is looking great man. i just measured my front fender to ground and i'm at 22.5" in settled b&g coilovers. settled 3/4-1" since installed.

shinjitai

thanks! oh and i just came back from a trip from tahoe and measured my car when i got home. The fronts are settled 22.5" also, but thats the lowest i can go. :/

aen

so how much did they run after you called him?

weeloTC

anymore thoughts on these coils, pete said he had problems installing the fronts, anyone else, its hard to tell just how low these can go out of the box cause so many folks in this thread has pulled rings ect. im ordering coilovers this week so i want to make sure i make the right choice

Aroddalobster

i took out the ring before i even installed them first just to see, and that ended up resulting in only a flush look. and i had no problems installing the fronts...

weeloTC

So they don't go that low unless you modify them? Cause I'm on 17s as well and I want the tire to tuck just a little

Checho

a month bump but i don't care:

I was trying to adjust the height on my coils today ALL DAY and yesterday for most of the day and I only got 1 wheel done!! (Drivers Front)

Does the Safety Perch (Silver ring on bottom of coil) get stuck for anyone else? I was literally trying to get that one perch off ALL DAY today (Front Passengers) to no avail, that ____does not budge.

not to mention the gold ring up top didn't wanna turn the first day (front drivers) until I got a hammer and started pressuring the key.

anyone else have these issues?

shinjitai

hmm.. Were you trying to compress the spring even more? From what your explaining, it seems the safety perch reached as far as it can go. It should mean that your spring is compressed fully and measured 7 inches. If your not compressing the spring then... Spray some wd-40 and hope for the best.

Also I'm attempting to modify my front struts so i can go even lower... Its a crazy idea but i know it will work. My plan is very simple and I'm very certain it will let the fronts drop at least 1-2 inches more. I'll let everyone know how it goes.

yeah, for the lower silver one that goes under the bottom mount, just put more elbow grease on it and it'll break loose. as for the gold one, i can't say anything since i took it out before even installing it lol.
and shinjitai, if it goes lower, PLEASE lemme know. i plan on getting less suv-like tires and dropping it more. rears i'm fine with the amount i could dump it. fronts are still too high for me.
i tried compressing the spring and shortening the shock with that extra space, but didn't work so i'm stuck.
