Here is a pic of the tC, you should get a better idea of how im setting with the springs. I have the road magnet springs on with the 1 1/2 drop or so. They where developed to mock the TRD springs but easyer to install from the designer. I recieved them from back when I was sponsored threw Scionpro.

nicely done my friend! but let me ask you this...."They where developed to mock the TRD springs but easier to install from the designer"....easier? how much easier can installin springs be? IMO, that car needs to be on sprint with a 2.5 F/R drop...or at the least, an S-Tech drop...the lower, the better...but your car looks miiiighty fine =)

Well thats what the designer at road magnet said. They have been doing busniess with the military for the past 100 years and have now started to move into the other side of the market. But the designer said they where designed for better installation what ever that means ...haha..

Yaeh, I would love for the car to be lower, but the entrences and exits to the parking lots here in Tehachapi are a little bit steap if yah catch my drift.

I love the stance that your tC sits at. I wish i could be that low. That is one clean tC.
what kind of lip kit are you running. Im thinking about going with the Vanati sides and read lip kit with a RS1 front lip.

^i thought Tina with the pink widebody tc was the prototype, too bad if you go drag racing they won't allow it, if so i would get one and the radiator hose too. btw you roll with AV scikotics right? saw you at the scinergy nationals show this summer, i was parked right behind you with the BSP and M3 front bumper. your car looks really nice

Ow right on. Your tC is really clean bro, great job. Still tryin to change some things up on the car but family comes first.

I accually roll with the Kern County chapter of scikotics in Bakersfield.

That was the car show when some of our cracked out lesbian checas desided to start a knife fight and embarris the crap out of the whole club. Yah I think we lost some members over that one. How embarrising. My appoligies.

Yeah i think your right i think they used her car for the mock up. But they said they are still going to make some changes to the design for better lighting.

Do you rub on those rims or did you have to roll your fenders?? And what size tires are you going with after all?? Cause i am thinking of getting these rims in the same size.

Ok, I looked it up on Falken's web site and it stated that for the FK452's for
225/35/19 fits a 7.5 to a 9.0 so im good on the fronts. The 235/35/19 fits 8.0 to a 9.5 approved rim sizes. This way im not streching thoes tires alot.


Falkens web site states that the FK452's / dual tread compound provides excellent handling critical for large diameter application. So it seems to me that the FK452's
are made for larger rim applications. So thats what im going to go with ^.

dqlostsoulz They where from a company called J2 or now known as Monarch-wheels.com

davedavetC so how did you hear about the FK452's being known to stretch well. Just wanted to know.
i pay attention to the wheel/tire forum lol. the general consensus says to go with FK452s those and Nitto 555s i believe.

Default Re: help tire size for stagered rims

Why do people stagger there wheels on front wheel drive cars? I never have understood this..... I get it, it looks cool, but all these mods are based in theory for performance or should be. Oh well!!!
