Yeah the car will settle a little lower over the next few weeks.

 

I cant believe I forgot to post here. Here is my ride on H&R sport with Tokico Blue shock/struts. They are an awesome combo.

 

damn u and ur damn spec tc!...

damn i love ur tails

 

was worried about the toe eatin up the tire shoulders.

 

I never got an alignment and car rides perfect. Just a hair of camber but nothing that needs and alignment. And the tire wear is fine.

 

Hey man... saw the pics you posted of your tC in this thread... looks sweet. I've been looking for the right color combination to refinish my stock 17s. I like what you've got set up on yours in those pics. Would you mind posting either in this thread or pm me with the details of finish, color #, etc.? would appreciate it.

thanks!

 

Pretty much all DupliColor rattle can paint... gold trim paint, black wheel coating, and clearcoat wheel paint. Three coats of each color and three coats of clear.

Most of the details is in the preparation. Lots of cleaning, scuffing, and masking before painting the gold, then repeating it again with more masking before the black, then reapeating it again for the clear... all over the course of three days.

And I gave it plenty of time for the paint to cure... then BAM!!!



Definitely well worth the time and effort...

 

Dude... holy Fing cow! rattle canned seriously? Impressive job. I was thinking of having mine 2 stage powder coated and then cleared. Oh and if you dont mind me soap-boxing for a sec here... "Officially F*** Toyota for making a nice 17" rim with such a crappy soft finish. If you even look at them wrong BAM there's a nick!.... ya'll know what Im talking about here... lol

 

Hothckis springs, 18" wheels, 225 tires, 40 offset:

 

^^^ nice...

 

Wow, I think those are the nicest OEM's I've seen.

Here is the 08 on stock rims with H&R Coilovers!

 

what exhaust axleback is that? lol

 

I'm throwing on a 5-Axis lip kit soon, so that means it's decision time.
Which is most practical with the kit, TRD's or Hotchkis's?

*NOTE: I have stock rims, but I'm upgrading to 18's soon.

 

 

^^ nice.

 

Tein S-techs

 

quick question for those of you on stechs and a lip kit....preferably the trd kit...how much clearance do you really have? i'm debating between htech and stech...i like the drop on stechs a lot better, but worried about being too low for nh...
