that's what i'm kinda hoping for actually lol if i'm wrong I would love to be told so. No sarcasm there either..i'm going based off of a guess and some things i've read in the past..

buuuttt..eithr way..right or wrong..still think the OP should get a full set of stechs or just get coils..:D

 

Your car is higher than Cheech and Chong together!

Grow some jubblies, go for coils, slam it, AND THEN slap the 5A:D Lip to finish the look, not to mention get rid of that pedestal ASAP

 

yea i think he should just keep it the way it is and save for coilovers. Then he can set it where he wont have to worry about rubbing.

 

You can buy the shorty antenna here:

looks pretty good. what do grids weigh?

 

^^They weigh like 22-23 lbs

 

sell those springs and get coilovers. at least racelands for cheap to slam it. those wheels are begging for some closer fender! do you have an exhaust tip?

- spoiler - antenna - tails - plate frame + coilovers = pretty damn nice!

 

I have a 2.5 catback custom magnaflow performance exhaust with a 4inch round angled magnaflow tip
and a electric cutout where the resonator use to be...and no it dosent rice out at all ..the stock header keeps it really smooth... sounds like a subie

 

I personally think the Rota Grids are the absolute best looking rims. BUT for the cost of those Htechs you could get the Riceland coilovers, they work great for me and I beat the hell out of my car. With a good inch or two lower it would look alot cleaner.

Also shorty antennas are cheap, might be worth the 20 bucks.

Maybe investing in a can of VHT nightshades would give the 'murder'd out look' that everyone around me seems to go for.

 

How long have your htechs been on the car,mine sits lower than that in the front and back.

CArefull mismatching springs,it will not work car handling will not be as good.

Carefull with the Five Axis kit if you do go lower,you really gotta payattention going out of driveways and in driveways,gets scraped up quick and it shows on it too.

Love the wheels and the way they look on the car.........one of my favorite rims look wise.

 

just noticed the snow........you in Houston......that was the one place in the news yesturday that got snow......lol

 

hmmm, fooled me. i thought it was stock with a tip. i guess the painted black got me thinking of stock.

 

what also might look good is debadge the tc and paint the scion emblems gunmetal or duplicolor graphite

 

car has alot of potential! wheels look excellent! cant wait to see it lowered and wingless! im jealous! haha

 

I got my Htechs for 150 bucks brand new.
Im powdercoating the calipers kawasaki green.. what you guys think?another color...will be getting it done in like 2 weeks
and the Htechs look so much lower in person i swear ima have to take more pics...but yea lower does look better I agree.
Just installed foglights yesterday and a badgless grille.
And yea the muffler shop didnt ask me if i wanted the whole piping sprayed or not they just kinda did it on there own..which looks good i guess..in person...I think I wanna spray that tip...cause I DONT like CHROME! maybe hyperblack to flow with the wheels if i could find some.
and yes im from houston lol

Coming Soon (Within the next month)
-Antenna
-Smoked tail's
-maybe smoked headlight top and blinker?
-Kawasaki green calipers
-5xis lip kit
-Coilover's (if i can find a good price...i dont wanna cheap out on suspension..that wouldnt be wise)

Anymore suggestions? cough*turbo kit*cough

 

for being cheap, i haven't heard anything bad about raceland coilovers. i was gonna suggest them. Love the rims though.

 

cough*turbo kit*cough Car looks good bro.

 

moar low and some negative camber to tuck them..lose the spoiler...pedestal spoiler is nasty IMHO, some 05-07 tails would look great. other than that looks good.

 

what offset are those wheels by the way??? i like them despite what everyone else says

 

I know they look amazing but they get bashd soo much on here. I would get me a set. And yes please lower it. Your car looks good but lowerd would make it look alot better.
