very nice tChick! how about a side profile shot of the car where we can see the whole thing? if you have time of course

 

hey tc chick are u filipina?:D geee got the same exact car and color gurl nice ride which part of naperville u live?

 

nope! no clue...but I have a little time to look around...;) any ideas? i want a light silver color, not big on wide spokes, and i'd pefer something a little more light in weight....=)

 

someone post some h-tech pics

 

way off the subject i know, but tChick did you to the sam high school as Candace Parker. GO VOLS!!!!
Okay back to the subject--Nice ride by the way.

 

nope, sorry...not the same high school. :?

 

Tc Chick,
Nice I got a hard time deciding what's hotter, your pretty face or the lowered ride on your TC )

Anyways, I noticed that you decided to go with s-techs...
Are S-techs progressive spring rate like high-techs?

Also, is the drop even around the car or is the rear little lower ?( I guess you'w be able to answer this question when the springs settle... ( a week?)

Once again, realy hard time....
Thanks,
Stefan,

Teins website says 2.44 front and 2.05 rear so the front is lower than the rear, by a considerable amount at that. But it does look very nice I must say, I myself will wait for H-Techs however because they are a 1.9f/1.7r drop and would look perfect imo.

 

My S-Techs are sitting in my room...they will hopefully be installed before my trip to NYC on Wednesday. I will put pics up as well

 

I'm excited for u...=)

 

TCChick any side pics?? I wanna see it from the side compared to your TRDs Please..

 

Will do...give me a little bit though..I have the pix on another comp..

 

a couple questions... whats a camber?(lol, dont laugh :oops: ) and what kind of shocks do you have ???can i put these s-tech's on my stock shocks? will the springs ruin the stock shocks?

 

i was told by a scion salesman that the stock shocks can withstand about a 1.5" drop without any problems. since the teins go lower than that, it would be wise to upgrade your struts as well. also, it can all depends on how and where you are driving. if your normal running grounds are nicely paved, you might have no problems on stocks.

also, here's a definition of "camber" i found on google-

Seen from the front and rear of the car, the angle of the tires in relation to the ground; tires that are perfectly perpendicular to the ground (90 degrees) are said to be at 'zero camber'. If the tops of the tires lean towards each other, the tires have negative camber, and if they lean out, the tires have positive camber. As a general rule, never have positive camber, and make sure the camber of, say, your front right wheel equals the camber of your front left wheel (make the camber angles on each axle match). If we were talking about oval racing, the rules would be different, but we're not. Sedan racing, with it's straights, turns and chicanes requires that, among other things, camber angles match. Usually one degree of negative camber on the fronts is good, because you want a good contact patch throughout a turn, and one or two degrees of negative camber on the rear wheels is fine. From there, experiment, one degree at a time.

Here is my post with a few pics. These springs are awesome!!! The ride is so smooth. I love them!

 

what the over drop. I know you said it sits 4 1/2". What is the stock height? Any rubbing on tires?

 

No rubbing on tires. I have to measure again...after they settle.

 

The car looks really nice.

I just measured the gap with my TRD springs. I have a 1in gap, not much of a difference. Still they look great.

 

I think my gap is like 1/2 in..not sure exactly, but they are really close to tucking

 

has the springs settled yet? since you said it almost looks like it's tucking... any recent pics??? i'm debating between the H-tech and the S-tech .5 inch diffference... i really don't want it to tuck i just want it to be right above the wheel... Thanks!
