Tein S-techs and TRD Shocks... VERY NICE!!! (pics)
I wish I had gone a different route... I did the simple TRD Spring drop and would kill to have a look like you've got...

Thats to big of a Gap in the wheel wells for me...
I like your look!

The ride looks great man I installed my s-techs about 2 1/2 weeks ago. The ride is awesome. The stock shocks will need to be replaced eventually! I just am not looking forward to taking re-doing the rears again. But the trd struts are worth it. Great job on doing everything at once !
ENJOY!!!!!
And for people considering the drop/ ride quality. It's not ridiculous at all. I actually haven't noticed a huge difference as far as any discomfort, period. I would highly recommend the s-techs!
Inferno33: I will post pics tomorrow of the rear camber... there is barely any negative camber because i took it to the dealership and they did their thing and fixed it... idn what they did but its fine now....
As for everyone else, i have some more pics coming... i also just redid my bass controller with a custom install, ill just show you a quick peek tell me if you like it... ive had the springs for two weeks now, and the ride quality isnt any harsher than stock... its comfortable, but hey, its still not like a bmw 7 series.... i love the look the s-techs give and if you have any questions on install just ask, i can def help cause im sure i ran into the same problems you did... such as installing the rears, no need to tear apart the inside, just take off the cover/flap thing behind the seats, and pull off the siding in the rear and you will manage... and make sure you have some type of pry bar to give the shocks enough room to get back in when installing...

Hey sicktc06... i vote on you getting some tein h-techs cause with those sexy wheels and the h-techs you will have absolutely no wheel gap, it will give you the stance like the s-techs (lower in front than back) , and it will handle very nicely! But i LOVE those vertical doors, i am very jealous, i need them.... NOW
bring that car to some car shows, i guarantee you will bring home some trophies, if you dont already do that... do you have any sponsors?
ya there is no way you will need a camber kit, there is no point... its just more money to spend... honestly i dont think my camber is perfect, its probably around 1 degree or a little less off but its not noticable and i haven't noticed any irregular treadwear... but i will post some more pics tomorrow... any requests on what pics?
Just ordered the trd shocks, and 18's, and have been on stechs for over a year!! Have gotten many tc's drive by and compliment the drop as the car rides, love the drop.
I need the shocks now, cause ive put like 20k miles since i got em (drive from Miami and Fort lauderdale almost daily) so I know there wil be a huge difference in ride feel cant wait.
