LOL this thread has taken the pain out of my studying week for finals... much entertained.

After scraping my tires on my way to and from school, I readjusted everything and was good to go!

to dimebagged.... jesus christ man.... you can't honestly think that your car is aggressive man.... you might as well be tucking stockies and call it more aggressive than half the guys in here.... oh wait... you've done that before.

No, you can't. Top hats for the xb are different than the tC.

I daily with flipped hats, all you get is a little clunking and a slighter worse ride.


Now, back on topic with aggressive stance... not tucking, post that stuff here

Maybe it's just me but I wish some of the photos were a little better but car looks great. I think the one you posted is my favorite. It's good to see another tC get some love too since so many people bag on Scion's.

Car looks good but why does it seem like so many tC dudes who are into fitment have so much rake? Annoys the hell out of me. Theres a local dude whos got take too and I always tell him to run smaller rear tires but I guess he likes it.

^ you arms are not maxed out. Cause I have the same arms and I'm running -10 and I can probably run another -2 degrees..

Hotchkis allows for -3deg no? Plus stock adjustment would that really get you to -10deg?
