Default lowered with new rims :)

last sunday sciond came over and he helped me with the installation of some eibach springs. i got about a 2 inch drop. only took about 3 hours, we ran into some problems with the front struts. that damn bolt about got the best of us. but i just wanted to say thank you to sciond, i greatly appreciate your help. it was a very nice gesture. and you saved me a lot of money haha.

well anyways i went for an alignment yesterday, the front camber is a little of, its about -1.5, so i give the guy the camber bolts to put on and fix the prob... and they dont fit.. so they fixed the toe and all and the camber is about -1.4 right now in the front.. i have some camber bolts in the mail and should get here tomorrow.

and recently i put some new wheels on my car, they are the hp racing 154.. they are 10 spoke red wheels with a chrome lip, and are 15x7.

so once i find my memory card reader, i will have some new pictures of my car.


thank you for all your help scott

YW Shawn glad to help and the car looks good....the front of the Scion always has a bit of negative camber from the factory...the top bolts on those struts are a beyatch sometimes when your dealing with an older car that they have never been off before......

You really shouldn't need the camber bolts... you should also wait a couple weeks for the springs to fully settle before getting an alignment.

i bought the springs used, the guy who had them before me had used them for 10 thousand miles, so they arent gonna get any lower or anything.

.....

and btw sciond... i took it over to griffin brothers and they couldnt get it on the lift.. they sent me to tire kingdom lol..

and tire kingdom had a little trouble getting it on the lift but they did.
