How much did it cost you to get you're whole Spring setups? Including the price of the springs, installation, and anything else you needed to do

Default Camber bolts?

I know so far noone has said that you needed a camber kit to ride the S-techs. But I was wondering if there is a camber bolt available to adjust without having to get the whole kit. My friend told me that they might have this available so you can adjust camber 1degree without having to get a whole kit.

On a side note. I was under the impression that adding after market parts will only void the warranty if the part actually causes the malfunction. i.e Tein springs added, blown strut means no warranty for strut but if your starter goes out our something else not related to suspension your warranty should still be good. Is this correct?

No, the way the suspension is set up up on the tc there is no way to make a camber adjustment with the factory parts.


correct, you only void warranty on the parts u mess with

Ditto I did the same thing. I bought TRD's, then S Techs, and now I am going to wait for coilover prices to go down.

I got my springs on sale from mcgeorgeparts.com for $118.00 plus shipping. I rented spring compressors from Autozone for free. Then me and two guys from our Scion club spent 4 hours putting them on.

It only took an hour to put all four goldline springs on one of the guy's xA.

I frequently have 2-3 people riding in my car with me on the lovely roads here in New Orleans and have yet to have any problems with tires rubbing or bumpers scraping. Then again, I don't have that much of a drop. TRD Springs, Stock Shocks.
