you deserved it if you were taking a 90 degree corner at 40 haha how satisfied are you with the ride though? i'm very interested in your setup because i want to go 19s with my sportlines as well. as of now, i believe you are the lowest person here on 19s. i think??

Just as a heads up, I am working on making a set of halo eyes now. I have a set of broken Corolla ones so I am going to try to make them for that. If it works, it won't be hard to make it for the Scion.

Can't wait to see how the ride is now with it lowered even more. Looks good. When are you getting the rims painted?

wheels size really dont matter, its the tire size that you pick that matters. with my tires I increased the stock radius by 0.2 inches, which raises the car and fills the wheel well in all directions

as for the ride, im gonna wait a couple days to make a review. plus the temps around here have been around or below 40 degrees which turns summer tires into a rock.

but yeah given my experience with offsets/spacers/tires/backspacing/frontspacing/spring drop......ill be able to give you a pretty good advice on what to get so it looks awesome without rubbing!

there are many tests we have to do b4 making these. Heat is one of the biggest concerns.

We need a headlight to experiment on. If anyone has a spare one from a crash or some other incident then it would be super helpful even if it's in a crappy condition.

That's the dalema! Nobody can find a spare headlight There's a company in Cal that has been looking for a TC2 headlight donor to make a kit but nobody has bitten. If I had an extra headlight i'd 100% make a set!

Ebay wants a butt load for a new headlight though! $175 just for one side? Shipped from China? You can purchase a small child in China for that amount!

If only capital wasn't an issue we would probably have a working prototype by next week.

As a heads up, I am trying to get in touch with an LED distributor so we can possibly start selling the specific LEDs for the tC gen 2 right on Scion Edge so you guys can get what works for your car. This would also be the supplier for the halo eyes.

The halo part is technically done. Now I just need to find a way to get my hands on a headlight to put it in. We just don't have extra cash to put into buying a headlight.

Sounds like your going to need sway bars driving like that lol. I had the same problem when taking crazy fast turns in my car but now it's stopped since I've had the sway bars installed. Yes I know our offset, ride height, ect. is different but it's the same concept.

Do sway bars need fine tuning, or can I just get them installed and expect better control. I really enjoy taking long curvy roads at high speeds.

i believe they come with 2 or 3 different setting to encourage/discourage understeer
