Window visors. They're made by a company named Wade, I picked em up off of eBay actually.

 

Ditto. Interested if you're selling them.

 

You'll need spring compressors for the front.

I've done all the install work on my car myself, save for the very first set of springs I had.

Nice car, Austin. What wheels and suspension are you running? If you want the coils, send me a PM.

 

Thanks man, yours is super nice too!

Wheels are XXR 521s 16" x 8" et +20 fronts/+0 rears wrapped in 205/45/R16 Falken 512s.

For suspension I'm running the first gen xB Raceland coilovers.

And you will be PM'd

 

Nice, how is the alignment after you drop it?

I've been looking around to see how other people lower/raise their cars and I found a thread that said:
"""those compressors are so dangerous. unbolt the track bar shocks and losen the control arms and lift up the frame up on stands, take off the tires and let the axle drop, you will be able to take the springs in and out without a problem, thats how i did it on mine when i put on my 4" lift."""

That sounds like what I was thinking in my head orginally. It takes a lot more unbolting and taking apart, but it seems safer than compressing a spring... Is this possible to do on an xA?

Oh and keep forgetting to ask, but what rims were those you had a while back, those gold mesh ones?

 

You got anymore pics?

 

I have a few more I'll post up after work.

 

Nice! Looking forward to 'em.

How much did you get those window visors for?

 

installing rears / shocks are easy. the fronts can be a PITA if you don't know what you're doing or doing it for the first time. i never got an alignment, didn't feel like i needed to and there's not that much of camber difference.

 

$55 shipped.

I'm going to get the iSt ones soon, those are a little bit more expensive haha.

 

The camber is negligible, the toe is what will eat your tires. I'd really recommend that you get an alignment after lowering your xA.

As far as spring compressors go, it sounds like you might want to find someone to help you do the job who has done lowering springs before on a Scion/Toyota (having an extra person around is always good anyway). They can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

 

Well if your looking to sell the ones you got now let me know.

And what happened to those pictures? lol

 

My back right tire is like 4mm or whatever they measure camber in off, you can literally see the tire is crooked and it annoys the ____ outta me lol. Plus my steering wheel isn't straight, but I've had the wheels aligned and it didn't fix it... The shop I go to is ____ty though. I'm about to switch to a mom and pop one that doesn't screw around lol. I'm gonna get that alignment packs ($12 I think) from eibach just in case...

 

Rear camber and toe is non-adjustable. 4° of camber is quite a bit, though, if that's what you meant.

If the steering wheel is not straight after an alignment, go back and demand they do the job right, or ask for the service manager.

yea degrees is what I meant, I'll get a picture later and you can see how bad it is lol, if I had some 8" deep rims they tuck in nicely though lol

 

just looking for some feedback. lip kit on 15inch rims ... it's gonna look weird huh. it will make my rims look even smaller. should i put it on still or just wait till i upgrade to 17s in the future.

 

I think it would look fine. As long as your going to match the overall diameter of the tires, it will be filling the same space anyways. So I think you might as well put it on now so you can see how much space will be leftt.

 

what do you mean as long i'm going to match the overall diameter of the tires? with 17s, i'll be able to close the fender gap more and also thin the sidewall. 15s with the standard 185/60/15 and dropped on sportlines, there's still a bit of fender gap and there's a thick side wall.
