What kind of 300 did you have? C? There's a bunch of stuff that you can do next!! I can't even begin to tell you! Body kit, sound system. A lot more!! Nice choice on color. There aren't many BOPs around!

Nice looking box. You can drop it to get a better look.

Hey, you beat me to that suggestion. If your roads are of poor quality, stick with a mild drop of 1.5 inches or less. Your box will thank you.

Default Congrats

Congrats on the new ride. If you're looking to drop it a bit, we're getting a lot of feedback that the Hotchkis Springs actually ride better than stock and give you a good drop without going too far. Just a thought.

Tein S-techs ride fine as well. The 1.7 drop up front is much noticable than the 1.5 drop.............but that is just me. The ride ok, but that is because I have the stock shocks/struts.

thanks for all the input, Not to sure if I'm going to drop it, I ordered the Greddy Blower for it. I own a Driving School and the drop may be unnessisary....
but the 85 RWHP jst itn't enough to get on the on ramps....
my Students love the car and ask if they can take the driving test with the Scion........

TYC Tail lights.....there isn't a tech write up but instructions come with the light.


There is audio, intake, header, exhaust, and just about a billion other things which there are a good portion in the tech section here @SL.

Good choice and hope all goes well for you.

Cheers!

I'd forget the fogs. They are too high to actually do anything. Upgrade the stock headlights to Silverstar bulbs and be done with it.
