Anna, heres a link to the Tanabe DF210 springs I told you about earlier.

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...=17349&page=14

Installation is simple, you dont even need to take the rear wheels off to change the springs. you can do the rears in about 20 minutes and the fronts might take you an hour. If you get the springs and want some help, I will be glad to do it for you at Drews house when I get back into town. only take me about an hour.

heres a link to a tech article on spring installation, the hardest part of the whole thing is getting the nut off the top of the strut to take the spring off. you dont even really need a spring compressor to do it =^.^=

Don't know the exact date yet but it's usually the last week of June. It's quite amazing seeing all the trucks. I ride around last year in a 94 Supra. This year will be the first year I enter the box, hopefully I walk away with something saying I'm awesome.

You should come Don

Wow Dane, the back is Really easy install, the only thing is i want to make sure i'm near air tools, cuz you know i probably wont have the rawr to get those nuts loose (LOL), & be able to install the new struts.. I think this maybe my first modify, Think the stock tires will scrape till i get new shoes?

You can always take your front struts off, take them and the new springs to tire kingdom or any place that installs struts and they will do it for $20-30 if you can't get it lose.

I'm sure there's more than one person on Import-Fiends that would help ya, I know I would if I were there. Drew would prob help ya, we dropped his Scoobie before I moved.

Well i'd much rather Do it myself, but is this kit you're talking about struts, springs, or both? & how much on inches on the drop? im not down for scrapin around town on my tires.. :/

I know about bringing it somewhere, off the top of my head i could go to either tire kingdom in Dville, or Delta on 49 (down by pass road)

It's about a 2.2 front drop and 2.0 rear drop. It's just the springs, you can still rock your stock struts with no problem.
