HKS, Hotchkis, Cusco, OTG suspension upgrade - 56k warning
Finally after months of waiting I just finished the suspension upgrade on my box
List of parts:
HKS hipermax WG coilovers
Hotchkis swaybars re-powder coated candy purple
Cusco frame brace re-powder coated candy purple
One Ton Garage 10mm axle spacers
TRD stainless steel braided brake lines – not completed another 5 week back order
EBC “Green Stuff” brake pads – not completed another 2 week back order
I still need to roll the rear fenders, passenger side is rubbing in front when going into turns. I have the settings set to soft for a smoother ride and playing with the coilovers to get the right setting to avoid hitting the frame brace going over speed bumps. With the 19" Axis Spider rims It still appears not to be low enough but I do plan on adding a new TRF lip kit when it comes out...

Nice job Dave....
This is a car you gotta see in person. Dave's car is the cleanest xB you'll find. Meticulously detailed and everything goes well.
You also gotta see the car computer. He is the first Scion with a pc to my knowledge..I know several have done it thereafter.

It is HKS!
Quality fit and finish (HKS Purple)
Con's:
Front spring perches where not finished IMO so I powder - coated them to match the adjustment rings.
Hard to get to the front strut adjusting screw.
No pillow mounts included with kit.
