1] What does everyone suggest for detailing your dash? I tried armor all, And it sucked big time...The way this dash is made it seems hard to clean for some reason.

2] What drop is recommended most by everyone? 2 inch? I still want a semi smooth ride.

3] How could I find out if I have side impact airbags? My ride came with no owners manual and no details. (It was the "show" car at the dealership)

Suggestions?

 

To answer #3, look on the pillar on the inside of your car next to the sun visors...on the top it should say "SRS Side Airbag" (sorry if thats not clear, Im not good at explaining where things are)

And for #2, I have tein s-techs (which lower 1.7") and the ride is a little more bumpier and stiffer than stock

 

No clue on the dash nor ideas for the drop. I would want to go with about a 1.5 to keep some ground clearance, the roads are crap around here. Now for the Side Air Bags. My current car has a little lable stuck on the side of the seat, facing the doors. Its a little below the head rest area & reas Air Bag. Thats the way I know my car has them, mind you this is a focus, so scion might not do that.

 

I went out and took a pic for ya...

 

Nice happy face Alex.

 

No happy face on mine, but here's a pic I took last week:

 

 

Well shucks, Guess I dont have the side curtains. No biggie, Just got to avoid getting t-boned.

Thanks for the response's!

Still wondering about the drop though, I dont want to be "slammed" just low enough to be purty.

 

screw springs get some coilovers......

 

1) You said you used Armor All and you didn't like it. Have you tried Armor All light or lite (I forget the exact spelling)? I used it a few time and it's not as heavy as regular armor all and not as oily. Also it depends on the type or cloth ect. you use to apply it.

2) I can suggest the **TRD**or **Hotchkis**. I believe the Hotchkis springs ride a little smoother that the TRD's but thats just from what I've read here on the forum. Hope this helps you out.

 

I don't care for Armor All it leaves things feeling gross. For cleaning my dash, I just use a damp microfiber towel dampend with regular ol' tap water. Works really well.
