Well, finally got around to installing all the stuff I had for the xb today. Tein S-Tech springs, TRD/Waydo/Tokico shocks, Rota GT-3's, Buddy Club P1 Lug Nuts and One Ton Garage Rear Spacer Shims. I actually had some H&R 10mm spacers on there but it made my rear wheels wobbly... so I took em out(after pics) and Ill either sell em or figure out a better way to mount em correctly.

Uhhhh... the car pics were RIGHT after I installed everything so it should settle in some more. Expect a photoshoot either this weekend or next when the weather clears up! also, the car pics are before, after, before, after, etc. youll get the idea

Oh, notice the red outs too! I used some red vinyl and cut em myself but i think im gonna re-do them because one of the corners on both lights is comin up.

BTW, only had her for..... going on 3 weeks this tuesday.

















































thanks for lookin! oh god i hope the settle in more....

 

Those look pretty trick. I would get some flat black spray paint and paint over the white overspray in your wheel wells. The white inside the wheel wells look sorta strange to me.

The springs will settle. I put H-techs on mine and they did not look like much of a drop at first, but they settled within a week or two after. Your S techs should be even lower. How is the ride?

 

great idea to paint the wheel wells! i wish i thought of it when i had everything off lol.

 

Looking good, Can't wait to see it at some of the local meets. It seems like you will be planning on showing up to some!!

 

Looks good, my springs settled after a few weeks also.

 

cool! tell me how the s techs run with the TRDs, im thinking of getting those myself

 

so far... its GREAT. not rough at all... i would venture out there to say its as nice, or nicer of a ride than stock. havent "let it loose" or even driven it much yet.... so ill give it a couple more days and give another review.


yes, count on me comiin out to some meets. possibly next weekend? i know ill be going out on a photoshoot... so maybe after the meet. any suggestions on which ones to attend?

 

 

looks mean! great set up you got going on there ;-)

 

Sweet!! Wheels look great!

 

You know, I never, ever have seen GT3's that I like,
but that red and white combo looks awesome. It matches perfectly with the tail lights.

 

Awesome. Nice write up.

 

pretty cool. I was wondering what red gt3s would look like on a polar. Those lugs stick out a long way though. Guess that could make it easier to reach the top of your roof when washing.

 

Lookin' good. Very clean. Are those 205/50/16s? I tried to read the size off one of the pics, but all i could be sure of was the "205" part. Nice ride!

 

yep you got it... 205/50

 

looks great man. now go wash!

 

N1C3! Me likes! What lug nuts are those?

 

buddy club p1, forged magneseum i think. VERY light.

 

Are those wheels a +40? With the OTG spacers, they look very good. Nice setup!

 

yes, and thanks! i think it really came out very well. i think the back could still use a little push though.
