Default Tein-S Tech springs? Pictures? *Update Tein Installed and TRD SS*

I know that this has been covered and I've seen a couple threads but its not enough of a "review" per say that I'm looking for and I only found a few pictures.
Anybody have advice/pics to post?? Springs will be in and installed Monday or Tuesday on my tC and I will post pics then.


***TEINS S TECHS INSTALLED ALONG WITH TRS SHORT SHIFTER***

You can visit my build to see alot of pics of the drop on s techs. Ive had mine for a year now and I personally love them. I drive my car pretty hard all the time and there still holding up great. With stock wheels there's no need to worry about any tire rub. Most places your just high enough to where you don't scrape. You will have your rear wheels slightly cambered out but it's not enough to make the tire tread uneven or anything. All I can say is your going to love them too!

Mine on s-techs. I got mine installed at the Scion dealership and it wasnt too bad, somewhere around $450ish. The ride is really good and it gets rid all the nasty wheel gap. Perfect drop IMO, just barely clears parking blocks.

Tanked, you can clear parking blocks? I could not clear them at stock ride height. my front end has quite a few scrapes now due to the S-Tech's. They are the best drop springs for looks imo. I could not imagine a daily driver any lower, would be a pita.

I have run S-Techs for like a year now. Ride quality is near OEM and height is decent... not low enough for me though... I will likely swap to the KSports once they are released. Pics in my build thread.

Hmm yea I dont know we will see, maybe this guy has a connection to get them somehow. Supposed to be a 2in drop in front and 2 1/2 or 2 3/4 in back. I was wondering about rubbing or anything and the guy assured me that i wont hit or rub when turning or anything. Idk I guess I will find out monday or tuesday whether this is all right

Yea I want like ALL wheel gap gone and this guy said that he can put the ksports on and ive already paid for them and supposed to be here monday or tuesday, but like i said I called ksport and they dont have them for the 2011 up. But maybe this guy hes the owner of this body/custom shop told me that he can get them and put them on. Weird idk cuz i told him i researched them and couldnt find info anywhere and he said that I wouldnt so my guess is there the "prototype"/ "test" springs that ghes able to get ahold of

That's my cement tc2 that is getting KSport's first set of coilovers. Not sure about just springs coming from them yet.

Oh is it? Dude that looks so goood! congratulations! Yea idk either im not sure what the deal is withit cuz the guy also expressed that he understands the 2010 tc's are different than the 2011 cuz I was under the impression that maybe he was thinkin the old ksports would fit

I emailed Ksport about 6 weeks ago to find out if they needed a test car for springs and they said Chris was all they needed for testing.
