Buy the second one. You already own (s2k) or have ordered (racing springs / trd struts) the mods that make the first one a better value.

You'll be glad to have the extra money to have the front sway bar installed. I wouldn't wish that on anyone ;)

what the sways on the tc are freakin easy... you just have to take the engine cradle down a little bit... either who if you get either of them i'll throw in for the APR splitter. i want that thing... maybe we can even figure out a trade... you know something i have that your want for something you might get that i want. straight across. think about it...

I emailed the guy and it "was" a local car that got hit and now he's selling the parts, so use that as a bargaining tool! He said the splier had a small crack in it but it could be covered up by a small washer

n/m... once carbon fiber is cracked its overall structural integrity drops greatly... and frankly it costs way to much to get it repaired...

aww come on, its just like fiber glass! Drill a hile @ the end of the crack so it can't spread more, and then re-resin over/in the crack, no prob! I'm sure you can just get a bigger washer to cover that !

1. Greddy EVO 2 Exhaust
2. Creative Compacts 2.5in Stainless Steel S-Pipe
3. Alphawerks Stainless Steel 4-1 Header
4. TRD Sport Shocks
5. Tein S-Tech Springs
6. Hotchkis Street Sway Bars (F/B)

For $1000 everything looks to be genuine. He told me they were used for about 6-7 months.

If I do get this... Im gonna need help with install... Does anyone know if this is a good deal... and whether some can volunteer sometime into teaching a rookie?

The exhaust is actually incredibly easy once you get the car in the air. It's completely straight forward. Not much monkeying around.

On the install, since everything was already installed, all the hardwork like the springs/struts is done for you.



If I had found this earlier, I would have jumped on all those parts. MAN. What a deal.

The springs and struts are separated, I just finished putting in the greddy exhaust. I'm gonna attempt the sways bars in a bit.

Bolt ons are pretty fun... Everything is in except springs and struts... I've heard too many horror storys about people losing arms, I dont want to try without proper tools and supervision.

So how are those parts treating you? any difficulties? Man you jumped right in with installation. And yes you did get a VERY good deal. Now the only thing left I need to sell is my rims. ANY BODY interested? 18" GRAM LIGHTS with BF goodrich KDW tires. Only had em on for two months!
