Hey, okay so i've sold my 18'' enkei (factory rims) for $650. With that $650 i plan on getting suspension done. My question is, which would you guys like to see me get. I like both a lot, so i want a public opinion!

1. Tein S-tech suspension?
2. Hotchkis suspension/sway bars?

Okay, another thing. Here are few other things i want, but what would you like to see me get with the rest?

-Projectors? (headlights)
-Headers? (meagan or dc sport?)
-Fuel rail system? (perrin)
-Light weight crank pulley? (perrin)

Depending on the suspension i get, depends on how much money i will have left over. How well designed is the perrin pulley and fuel rail system? I have the techno-r CF hood from vis, so i have a hood scoop. Will water be a problem for either/or? I've heard DC sport headers have a rust issue, so it would probably be more logical to go with meagan if i went that route. I don't know too much about perrin's stuff for the XB, so help me out!!

Thanks, if you'd like to see me do something else..let me know!

 

you should have no problems with the suspension...

i would do the header next...(no problems with my dc header)
projectors....
crank...
fuel rail... (see my problems https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=48289 )

 

I would save it up a bit more and get a set of Tien basic coilovers or Tanabe Sustec's, but that's just me

Get the progress rear sway bar. It works much better than hotchkis ones.

Don't get projectors unless you plan to spend for good ones. They usually have horrible light output and respond badly to HID retrofitting.

If you have an exhaust, the header will make it sound much louder.

You do not need a fuel rail system unless you have a turbo and want that extra protection from running lean. Other than that it's NOT necessary and will not provide any noticible benefit.

 

I will be running a s/c by the end of the year, thats why! haha, at least thats my plans. I have aem cai and JIC spartan exhaust, i want more performance than anything if that isn't obvious. Thanks for the input though, but im thinking i will probably go with hotchkis. My exhaust is slightly angled, the last thing i need is to bottom out with a 2'' drop. I would be buying the Helix projectors if i bought projectors, i don't settle for cheap wannabes! Right now, im debating on either the light weight pulley or headers. I want/need both, but with my hood scoop im worried about rain screwing up either/or. More or less headers with rusting.

 

What about Tein S-tech springs and hotchkis sway bars? Anyone have this combination, if so how stiff is the ride? Handle? Bottom out trouble? Pain in the butt install? heh.
