Im gonna buy rims when I have to replace my tires prolly gonna get 17's. I think springs and window tint would look nice. Will 30% tint basically match the privacy glass in back?

 

just ordered Tanbe NF210s and RS5.0 spoiler in gold.Tint was the first thing i did, just like on my black 1st gen. I had ALL the windows overlayed in 20% which combined with the Toyota privacy glass made for 3%! I love it!Had most of the bottom and some top of the windshield done also, probably not legal but then again what is? LOL.

 

They have a name for that...

 

Wheres the cheapest you can get the tanabe NF210's?

 

My first mod is and i'm waiting for.set of 19x8.5 axis shadows w/red lips,they should be at my door not latter than friday.

 

A couple places have them on 1-2 month backorder, but as of a couple days ago SSuperstore still had them in stock and at only $169 + shipping (great price).

optionimports . com $175 + shipping! In stock as far as i know...I hope!! lol Scion dealer is going to charge like $160 to put that RS spoiler on, says it takes 1.5 hours. Fine by me.

 

first thing I bought was the CAI. that is because i commute 33 miles one way to work and wanted to milk every last mile of gas I could.

 

anyone know anything about the Eibach Pro-Kit springs and how good they are? should I go with those or the Tanabe NF210s

 

sppringgsssssss

 

I just switched from the Eibach Pro Kit to the NF210 - mainly because I came across a used set here on SL a few weeks ago. I had to jump on them the see/feel any difference on my own. You can only trust what you read so much...

The Eibach drop is 1/2" less in the back (not as low) than the NF210s. The NFs ride better and the car looks better, but I think the Eibachs handle better - that's the trade-off. I thought the Pro Kit rode pretty smooth but they're bouncy in comparison.

 

do the Eibachs handle better to that much of an extent? or is it really just a small bit better? Anything handles better than the stock springs i am sure.

 

Well, from a seat-of-the-pants point of view it felt like cornering was a bit more confident with the Eibachs. Not because the tires were breaking loose but becasue there may be more body roll with the NFs. I'm sure the difference could be measured, but in all honesty I bet some people couldn't feel a difference. The bottom line is that the Eibachs are stiffer.

 

Springs and sway. The strut bar will give you absolutely no gain.

 

the only problem with a sway is that it will make the ride so stiff, especially with springs and I dont want too stiff of a ride. I am not racing and do not need to do hard cornering. I am more interesting in the ride.

 

The sway won't make the ride stiffer, it will dramatically reduce body roll when turning. It won't do anything to your ride if you're just cruising down the road. The springs will make the ride harsher than it currently is.
