I'm sure more pics will be up later but i'm excited about how this turned out... Congrats darlin!

Stats:
Wheels: 19x8 Motegi DPK Chrome
Tires: 225/35/19 General Exclaims
Springs: Tein S-Tech 2.4"F 2.2"R (not sure about those figures but its close)

Thanks so much to Pooty, Mark, Steve, Trevor(phone support) of course Wendy and
especially Danny for all the help today. I litterally couldn't have done it with out ya'll!
Ya'll are the best!

 

Chrome Motegis, yeah baby! Looks like the car doubled in value.

 

cool, lookin goodness!

 

WOW! Those look amazing..congrats!

 

wow those are awesome can't wait to see them in person!!!

 

It was a long day but you can see it was well worth it!! I knew the drop and wheels were going to look good but I never imagined it would look this amazing!!

Of course it wouldnt have happened without Robin Thank you so much for all the blood, sweat, tears it took today. No to mention all the work it took just to get the parts here. I learned a lot and am ready to get going on plans for future mods... :D

A big thanks also to Danny, Steve, Mark, Pooty, and Trevor (via phone) too for the help! Toyota engineers need to be kicked in the head for the way they designed the rears but i'll leave that for another day.

Overall I am in love with my car more now than ever!! I have ALWAYS wanted a car that stood out from the average and now i'd say thats exactly what I have.

Now if someone would just make a decent tail light for the tC then i'd be content... but once again I digress....

Let me know what ya think... I'll try to get some more after pics up soon... It just took longer than expected so it was dark by the time we were done.

PS: Lupe - Look - NO GAP lol... just in fun

LOCK!

*sigh*

 

Very nice wheels. Is it Robin's job to keep them all shiny??

 

The car looks great Wendy. I really like the chrome.

 

looking good, the chrome goes nicely w/ the azure blue

 

Looks nice, so I guess you guys pretty much had to pull the rear interior out to get at the rear suspension. Fun isn't it . Again I love it. No longer a 4x4 tC.

 

Ya, those rear springs are a pain in the a$$!

Looks great!

 

What about us poor xB owners, it took me like a whole 2 hours to change the whole suspenion, and a exhaust too, all by myself.
Really though the tC looks so good, it was well worth the effort.
Not to thread jack, but look at my handiwork. The Waydo Sportivo isn't an extreme drop but the ride and handling is good.

Before gap.

After

 

You are welcome Robin & Wendy! Glad I could help.
The wheels look even better in person!
And thanks again Robin for helping me out with my new compressor.

 

THREAD JACKER......

 

Well if I knew what I was doing, or seen it done before it would have gone smoother,
but I didn't have a clue about the rear, hell I thought it was going to be as easy as an
xB.....

But I am Super impressed with the outcome, it is worth the effort, Now I just have to
get on the ball and work on the Lava. Cause When your girl is rockin bigger rims and
lower drop than you, yeeeah j/k....

BTW, The front isn't even, one side is lower than the other, not a bunch but enough to
notice., I think one of the springs may not have settled correctly, but i'm not sure, if
anyone has any wisdom or experience with this, I would greatly appericate a heads
up before I go poking and prodding in there with a sharp stick....

-TR

 

Did you set the springs in there correctly? I know they can easily be set in wrong..

I like the wheels, just not the chrome, I am sure you knew that.. hahaha.. But it looks good...

 

Thanks everybody! I just keep doing a double take when I get in and out of my car!!!

I dont mind the thread jack but only because its you Frank... Anyone else better watch out I cant wait to see your envy in person... I'm sure like snicka mentioned about mine.... Pictures just dont do justice... The in-person effect is so much better.

Yea... I have a picture of the rear interior completely gutted. It wasnt too bad but still a pain.

I wasnt sure how I felt about the chrome until I saw them in person and then later on the car... I was sold!! I still dont think its for every car but in this case I think Robins advice was right on!!

BTW: The ride is amazing too....

 

Robin I have seen a bunch of peeps put at least one spring on upside down, but if it is like the xB it is wider at the bottom, where it rides on the strut, that mistake would be hard to do. My right side was slightly higher when I first finished but after I drove around it seem to level out. Hope yours does the same. But like Trevor said if the spring spins it could not be in the right position where it sits in the indentation.
