Default tC Dropped & 2007 Lancer Evolution MR Paint PICTURES

payed 200 bucks for Eibach Sportline springs from someone ebay. Installed them myself at my pops shop. so far im loving the ride, cornering, look, everything...




the white speck's above aren't scratches... i ran out and looked as soon as i saw this picture lol







-------------------------------------------------------------------------

and most recent of my Firebolt XB12R


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

and a few pics of my dads Evo... Yes i admit i would gladly trade him for my tC





most people so far agree that the paint on the hood could have been done a lil better... maybe more of an airbrushed look would have been better... like whats on the lower half of the sides.

all in all, i think the whole thing is F'ing KICK A$$

Most of what I hear is harsh ride strut blow outs etc. Many people in the tc lounge have trade the teins for for others, just second hand info really. Its purely a choice of brands and price.
I have also heard tein is one of the most counterfitted brands around be carefull if you buy off eBay.

im looking at the tein s.tech and just spotted the h.tech.... which ones are better (besides the drop distance and color of the springs)??

i have free installation at a local shop in town and i might spend near 300 for lowering parts
df210 ftw.

tein = caveat emptor.

I was checking out those Eibach ones too... are those the 2 inch drop ones? and anyone have any suggestions on them?

GEO, do you have any type of online feedback besides ebay? i have excellent HEATWARE feedback under webekyle: http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=34070
...not that i dont trust a fellow scionlifer'... just want to protect myself. and is 200 the lowest you can go? or do you wanna trade for Windows Vista Premium Upgrade (un-opened) I can also include Office 2007 Enterprise Edition.
If you arent interested in that type of stuff i have 2 un-used (still in the box) Audiobahn Alum12N's ready to thump

Man that garbage is horrible. Dont need any software cause I have it all.

Well I have ebay feed back which is gxs6866. Normally I dont sell stuff just buy. I'm also part of Scinergy CO if you want to ask anybody about me. I'm local so you would see what ever I sell. The Eibachs prokit have ~ 1.4'' drop which is what I have. The sportlines have a 2'' drop. For a fellow local scion person I would do $180 which I'm now loosing close to $50 on them. There also brand spanking new never installed. Let me know.

go to WWW.JCSSPEED.COM you will find the tein s tech and h tech lowering springs for $190. But if i were you I would probably want to go with the s tech, they are better all around springs and they ride a lot better.

ok, i have the Eibach Sportlines on the way (get here on the 9th) but a friend of mine mentioned struts wouldnt be a bad idea.... would it be easier for the installer to do springs and struts at the same time? or could i get away without struts?

Sure struts would be a good idea, but you would prolly be ok with the stockers. Its all up to you if it means peace of mind then replace them

Mine are stiffer because I used shorter shocks & struts for a bit more drop.
