Default Finally I can post pics of my Yellow Short Bus

As the title says---- Here they are

Front Drivers



Front Passangers



Rear



In Garage



My next mods are the TRD Struts and Springs. I want it lowered, but not by much and I don't want to deal with blowing out my stock struts. I already have the Hotchkis Yellow Strut bar, Rear applique, arm rest and floor mats. I will also be getting the yellow AEM intake.

Thanks For looking.

Nice box. Congratulations on your purchase.

Well, if you look around you will see that the majority of scion owners lower their box 1-2" with stock struts. I've had mine lowered on Tein S-Techs for almost a year and there has been no problem as of yet. Still works like brand new.

Thanks- I lowered my Matrix with TRD Springs and blew out the struts in front in 2 years. That is the reason for going with struts also.

get to work!! Haha. Don't be afraid to lower your car. Search the form and you'll find out just how safe minor drops like the S techs are, and don't be afraid to dramatically drop the car. I have tanabe DF210's (2.2"F, 2.0"R) and the struts and shocks take the load just fine!

I don't want to scrap or even risk scraping. I got tired to having to go into driveways sideways. So, Just a 1" lowering is in the works for me.

Thanks
