Here it is ... the first mod of many to come. I did the research and decided to go with the Tein S-Techs. I had heard from a couple of other Scionlife members that these were great for drop as well as ride quality, and I was not disappointed.
Recovery is great spring rate is great i can almost tell no difference from stock besides them being a little stiffer. but next I am wanting to change out the side view mirrors for something carbon maybe, but only time will tell.

the rear looks a little higher. but i think it was the way the car is designed. i was hoping for that look though. i don't like when the front and rear sit at the same height.from what p tuning specs said the front was lowered 1.5 and the rear was lowered 1.8. i didn't measure before and after i was just to excited to get them on. i did it at the shop i work at and it was way way easy.took maybe around 45 minutes.

Before I drove her home:
First Time Behind the Wheel:
Driveway:
I'm really ____ed I didn't tell the dealership not to drill into the front bumper for the plates... I wanted to do a relocation for the front plate and not have to cover up the holes... but I guess its too late now...
I'm new here obviously.. first time scion owner... no where near new to modifying cars tho.. other car is a 97 BMW M3 which is now going to be a dedicated track/weekend car... The tC will be lightly modded as my daily driver. Lightly means a turbo by the way ;)
