Default My coilover Build..

Hi, I am new on this forum and new to the scion world. I just bought a 09 Scion Tc last month and I am looking to invested some money in it now. I already put in H.I.Ds. I just ordered a set of coilovers and a camber kit.
Could anyone post some pics of how to install coilovers so it would make it a bit easier.

Another question. When I change the coilovers would the warranty be finish, just wondering? The car has only 600m on it right now.

your warranty cannot be voided unless the aftermarket part caused the problem.

If the coilover install pics aren't working, open up the spring install guide, it should give you the basic idea.

Hey Jlowe, can you send me your display picture. I was thinking about powder coating my rims green once I put on my coilovers. You can email to this address : eddyy_5@hotmail.com
Thanks

I don't know which ones you ordered, but you could always use the install instructions for the TRD coilovers:

Also... why a camber kit? You really shouldn't need it.

I ordered D2 coilovers, I got the camber kit just to be on the safe side.

Coilovers are fairly easy to install,really are the same as springs to install,there is a DIY in the tech section if I remember.

As for warrenty,Toyota will never warenty springs,struts,brakes,tires,stuff like that as it is a wearable part.

Best thing to do is to buy good parts and take time to read up on how they work and go in,do the install with a person who has done one before,in your local area I bet there are people who know how and wil help for pizza and a beer........

and post up pictures when you get them on......we all like pictures.....lol

Yes, a good spring compressor and patience is key to putting coils in. Have good tools and an extra hand helps also.
