i was debating whether or not to go coilovers, but the simple fact for me is that i'm not tracking the car, and on the street i bet i would never need the adjustment capabilities.

yeah, i mean the only difference really between my tokico/trd setup and coilovers is the whole adjustability aspect (height and damping-wise). once my c-pillar bar comes in and i install my ingalls ETD, my suspension will be completely done.

speaking of c-pillar bar, i got it from creative compacts aka pro motion tuning. i have to say, their service is TERRIBLE. second time i've purchased something from them. second time i've been ignored for weeks on ed. last time they'll get my business.

i have the a-pillar pod from them. took forever to receive the freaking thing... fitment isn't perfect, but i guess you can't expect it to be.. you'll need screws.. i don't see a way around it b/c if you have to rewire your gauges for some reason, screws are the easiest way to take the thing on and off.

what kind of screws did you put on? did you just drill a hole under to put the screw? im thinking maybe plastic clips or rivets to go on that hole but i would need a really long one

the pods come with 2 self-tapping screws and there are two holes on the CC pod for the screws to go into.
