Default 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.

Thanks... it would of cost me I think around $1600 - $1800 for just the parts if Ihad to buy everything, but alot was in trade for work I did on computers. I did all the labor, so that had to save me major $$ the only negative expense was re-powder coating the swaybars, frame brace, spring perches, tie down brackets and other misc brackets... that was another $250 but over all it was worth it. The waiting to get all the parts together was the worst part!

It rubs on the passenger side rear only when making turns. I hope to be borrowing a lip roller to use to flatten all the lips and give me more room for adjustment. The biggest concern I have now is the frame brace, I might have to go up 3/8 of inch to keep from getting hung up on speed bumps

Pro's: :D

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.
