Nice mods - Strup header, TRD intake. What drop are you on? Is that Eibach Pro-Kit, TRD?

And is that a Big 3 mod I see, or am I just crazy?

I've got almost the same performance mods, only I frosted my Strup header in a titanium silver that looks great with my CSM.

Hey man, what kind of audio are you running? Hopefully a good subwoofer setup, right? Lol. I like the LED in your 6x9

Pyroman131:
Sittin on stock springs, probably not going to lower it any.
What is a Big 3 mod?
That's what's up.

DoubleA tC:
I've got 2 15" subs, with a 1800 Powerbass amp.
And thanks.

See the cables coming from your battery? I thought you had a Big 3 mod where you run 3 cables to ground power into the chassis and get you better performance for audio. I haven't done it myself and don't know too much about it, but a friend of mine was rocking that in his Honda Accord a couple years back. It looked like how I remembered it, lol.

You're not going to lower your xB? Whoa. Never heard that one before unless there is a very large ball and chain tied around your neck.

I've never heard of that before. But it sounds cool.

The roads here aren't that flat, and I scrape a lot already. I might get the TRD springs, or something that has a small drop, enough to even the front and rear wheel well space. but definitely not going to slam it.

Yo man I'm rocking Eibach Sportlines and it is too low for me on my roads. It's about a 2" drop all around, so I'm switching to Tanabe NF210s. Front drop is 1" and rear is 1.7". Definitely a good drop to even out the ride, and I heard from lots of advocates here (Hint: CIONIDE) that the ride is incredible.

Not expensive, and well worth it. Really changes the look for such a minimal drop compared to most other springs.
Disregard the charger

They run around $215 including shipping on eBay.

You may be able to get a comparable price from a sponsored seller here on ScionLife.

Here's a thread with a little info and a few pics.
