Default Installed my S. Techs over the weekend *With Pics*

I used kwc5811's H. tech install guide which can be found here https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...t=tein+install the only difference is how much you cut the bumpstops and I cheated a little and had a impact gun (would have sucked without it). The install took me about 6 hours cuz it was my first time doing springs and there were a couple of unforseen set backs, but overall it was a fun experience. Here are some pics, I'll see if I can get some better ones soon lemme know what you guys think

Dropped mine with the S-Techs too! I really like the height but I'm not to happy with the stock wheels tucked inside the wells. I ordered wheel spacers so I can at least make the tires flush with the lips of the wheel wells.

ooh ____ that looks so awesome with that bodykit the ground effects make it look even lower that's so awesome... if I had the cash to spend I'd get the ground effects and switch my TRD springs on TRD shocks to the S-techs

I actually haven't had a problem yet as far as where I go day to day... the driveway where I work is pretty steep and I still have enough clearance for speed bumps. Thanks for the input guys
