Well, time for another update! More new parts calls for more new pics. Don't mind the photography, it was f&*%@#! cold out so I gave up trying to be fancy.
Parts include:
- Descendant Racing Cat-Back (thanks Rob!)
- Scion Carbon B-Pillars (had these for a while, just getting around to pics now)
- Lowering Springs...I'll let everyone here guess on these first (there's a hint in one of the photos...
Love the drive now.
The exhaust is brilliant! Up there with my favourite sounding exhaust.
The springs (for those of you that figure it out) are a must. Well worth the wait for those of you debating which ones to choose. Steering feel is increased, ride isn't harsh, drop is perfect. Again, brilliant!
And the carbon pillars are quite nice. When the car is clean (not often during the winter), you can really tell by the colour and texture that they are made of genuine carbon fibre.
As always though, MUCH more to come!

^Haha, forgot that was there.
Like I said, well worth the wait. These were installed for testing, but the kit includes new bump stops, top nuts (front struts) and the 4 springs! No aftermarket offers that or the engineering that these do. For those looking for springs, these should be on your list at the top!
Scion Canada will be posting up some more shots here next week, so watch for it.

Great to see some other options installed for lowering. The H-Techs I installed have provided quite a noticeable improvement for handling as well. I didn't want to go any lower because most of the entrances to places where I live start flat and immediately change to ridiculous inclines.

I have my concerns with that as well, I don't think I could lower mine due to the massive bump at the end of my drive way, I have to take it at a crazy angle already. How much lower is the TRD drop?

As for where I am, well I live in the Vaughan area and work in Scarborough.
Well, I work for the company, so that helps. But now I can tell you guys how great these things really are! Just wait until summer when I load my 255's on and go lapping! The engineering of the TRD parts will really shine through then!

^Thanks for posting that. We measured it up today against another and it was roughly 30mm lower, front and rear. Each car is different and settling may or may not occur. So factor that in.

1stOne, you beat me to the post again! I'll post up some of the install pics soon.
30mm (1.18") lower all around is correct. Glad you like the ride and feel of them. We'll need to see how much more you like 'em around the autox course or at the track this summer
