i think the shadows of the fenders in the last pic also give off a "lower" look to it

Diego, arent you on stock wheels? if you are you should not be rubbing anywhere

Your front looks fine. When I had 18's, that gap looks exactly like mine did.

what?

no it doesnt. i was messing with the inner liner up front and since that one clip is missing which connects it to the bumper i had put some pressure on the bumper and pushed it out from the clips under the headlights.


and yes my hood is popped for who ever asked

definately not as low as s-techs...





Just like a lot of people have been saying, the konis are much shorter than stock struts, which will seat your car a little lower. Also, the wheel gap issue is your h-techs combined with the 18's. Nothin to worry about, I have less wheel gap than you and I don't rub.


Sorry for the small pictures, SL resized them when i uploaded them

mine sit close to that low now too......there is like a small percentage of differnace in most springs ,for instance my DF210s for the Yaris said 1.8"drop,I got 2.3" drop a half inch lower than they should of,but still in the manufactures percentage that springs can be off up or down on drop.

then you add in the Koni struts and they are gonna allow the car to sit a little differant height tan stock struts or TRD struts.......put the koni and htech together and you got the drop you got....looks great.
