Ohh that sounds awesome, too bad I have mine as a buy. Hopefully when the FT or FR comes out I can trade my tc in and get the associates deal through my mom again. I should get it though cause it'll be a new year :D

how in the world do you get an associates deal? I work at a Scion Dealership and still had to pay sticker. What am I missing?

I don't know how it works for dealerships, but my mom works with World Omni Financial/Southeast Toyota Finance (SET Finance) so she gets them

WOF/SETF was the one run by Jim Moran before he died, and now I think his daughter is in charge or something of the sort

An alignment is included as part of the installation!

That doesn't make since. So you will have to get an additional alignment when it settles in?

What if you're not getting them installed at the dealer?

I bought mine from TRD sparks.

I take it aligment is highly recommended.

^ Most definitely. Toe is the only thing they can align anyway and it won't change as the springs settle.

In my personal experience, if the springs are seated properly when installed there shouldn't be any "settling".

We do recommend an alignment; at the very least to verify that everything is within spec. TRD does state in the installation instructions that the TRD Springs shouldn't impact the suspension settings too much. I believe I posted the spec's in a thread here somewhere...

There is this little person inside me, they get very jealous about things, and tend to rise up when I see these build threads.

The pic "Casual" in post #207... just gave my little jealous person a frikkin aneurysm.
