Welcome to the site lots useful info here. Just make sure you always search before posting. Some the questions you ask'd can easily be answered just by searching they've been covered many times already. First thing I'd recommend doing though is suspension work. Post some pics up when you get the chance.

I just figured id throw the setup thing out there cause the site is a little confusing at first. Definitely will use the search now. And thats the first thing I am going to do is suspension :D Hit the nail on the head

Either the Tien S Tech Springs or the Eibach Sportline Springs. Then the Hotchkis Stage 1 sway bar kit.

Im torn on the springs cause i know for sure the eibachs will be great springs but i want it lower more than only 1.4 front and rear and the Tien S Tech lower it 2.4 in front and 2.0 in the back. So many options i cant decide ;D

Welcome to the site. Kinda sucks, one of your first posts and someone tells you to use the search function. No wonder people don't come around to much anymore.

Parts and installs places and people to use here in AZ.......
Jeremy aka BiggJ (username nolimitzind) www.nolimitzind.com
Randy aka Randode (username randode) www.randode.com

They both can get you going in the right direction and help with anything you may need.

Also, some club sites to check out for a lot of useful info.... also they are clubs out here.
www.teamalphasquad.org
www.scionapocalypse.com
www.teamaftermath.com


Have fun with the car and hope to meet you soon.

Welcome! Enjoy your stay on SL. Couple recommendations from experience - ditch the lowering springs and save up for coilovers, and Hotchkis... eh... I'm working with them now considering their rear sway bar is jacked and it jacked up my rear end link on the Driver's side. Their Customer service so far is OK, I'll need to update this once they send me my new parts. If I could do it over again I would get the Progress sway bar set for the tC. Just my .02

Anything else you need to know feel free to ask me. I can talk about tCs pretty much all day. They are awesome cars.

Agreed. She is a pretty cool gal on SL. She's pushing me to get a tC and so far it's working even though I might get the 95 Avalon first because it's cheaper (I AM a broke ___ college student.)

Get it in your head already. The Avalon is not an option for you. :D
