We have a lot of pollen and whatnot here and have gotten A LOT of rain lately. I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you are worried, you can do what my buddy did, and he went into the fender wall where the little hole is going into the engine bay and covered it with a piece of plastic and 3M taped it in place.

Once I get 90% of these feature shoots out of the way... the car isn't even done it's lower than these images and I keep getting bothered with random HOWEVER once I get around to finishing up the low and camber adjustments again I'll post up that video it's in my top 10 things to get done

Hey Jasper,
Sorry about that delay. Yea for the most part I daily my tC I've only had it for 8 months from stock to well now... but it handles like a dream honestly once I fixed some issues with my control arms riding on unibody everything was better. I'll slam on/off ramps at 75-80 no problem and prior to my air lift struts I was running tein SSP w/upper pillows and those did handle better but not by a lot... Mind you I noticed the largest difference changing from khumo cheapos on a 18x7.5 heavy rim to a 17x8 17x9 staggered on nitto neo gen...
Ultimately no complaints other than I wouldn't buy air lifts management/valves and I drive lower than I ever did static now... have about a 1/2 inch to an inch of clearance driving and 1/4 inch parked... some times i just leave the rear end down and just drag exhaust pipe and scrape like it's a job just because... Over all well worth the investment and so few tCs have it that it's awesome and the ones that do have it are on body kits or some hideous god awful rim that just looks terrible... New England scion game = a shame imho
If you were considering it tho... GO FOR IT, a lot and I mean A LOT of work goes in to making it sit hella low... lot of body mods to run wide rims and tuck if I could go back and do it all again I'd be in a mk4 gli without a doubt...
