N-I-C-E !!

 

On my TRD's after they've settled. I like em - nice, simple drop that doesn't put me in too much danger!

 

^^ looks good!

Someone goes to Hofstra University...

Those damn parking stickers was a small reason I didnt go there ;) Are they a pain to take off?

 

I'm finally lowered on Hotchkis springs, these things are lower than expected, especially in the front! I'll post later when I get some good pictures.

 

Nah, the stickers come off like a piece of cake. But yea, believe me, I don't want them there. However, I'd rather have them on than have my car towed away!! I gave them heat when they made me put them on. They issued these stickers 2 days after I got the car!!! ARGH!!! - your on LI though, so i'm sure you see them all over the place!

 

someone call scion that is a poster shot

 

I use to hate them wheels...but they look hella dope in 20 inch size.

 

I picked up my RS2 three weeks ago. I received my TRD springs about two weeks ago, but finally got around to installing them. Took about 5 hours to install them doing all the work by myself. It was definitely a PITA. I had planned to add TRD shocks later when I had some extra cash, but I'll more than likely bypass that and just get some coilovers since the worst part was compressing the springs. I will be adding some 18x7.5 Gram Light T57-RCs when they come in and a TSX retrofit is in the works. I'm thinking I might have the first dropped RS2, not that it really matters.

Anyways, here are the photos...

 

^^^ That looks awesome! I just ordered my TRD springs from mcgeorge yesterday so I'll be posting my pics up here before you know it! Yay!

 

Here are a couple of pics of mine..

 

Alright, finally got it clean enough to take some pictures. Hotchkis Springs, first one is a before (so don't get confused and think the springs suck), the rest are after.

Before:



During:







After:









It's slightly less than two fingers of a gap in the back, and just about one in the front. It's lower than I was expecting, but heck, anything is better than stock. Many MANY thanks to Gortok, Batjew, and Rabid Lemming for helping me with the install and also for providing the shop! Any questions about the springs just post up and I'll do my best to answer them.

 

Nice choice on Springs!!! it looks really good!

 

Thanks! I was kind of bummed when they turned out so low in the front, but now that I've adjusted to them I'm more content.

 

you're rears will settle a little more than what you have in the pics! It will level out pretty nicely!

 

You should have seen me when we lowered the lift right after the install... Moment of truth! I was looking something like this:

 

TRD springs just went in yesterday...I love the drop! nice and subtle, but enough to look aggressive. It will be perfect once it settles. Ride is slightly firmer than stock, with improved steering response. The rears were damned difficult though, but now that I've gone through it, it's not al that bad. Just make sure you have a few friends to help you out. Pics up soon!!

 

Not too good of a picture but what can you expect from a cell phone.
