That's not gonna happen with springs, unless you plan on cutting them.

screw it man, just take your springs out!!! it'll give you a NICE 4" drop and the most amazing handling you've ever seen!!! YEAH RIGHT!!! if you like to bouncey bouncey bouncey..... Don't cut your springs bro. Do it right. Coilover or airbags. It's more expensive, but WELL worth it!

Default Goldlines!!!

Hello,


I bought some goldline springs from Bill Turner (Scionspecialties.com) Look on the website you will find him. He has great prices, great service and fast shipping. Springs have lifetime warranty and 2" drop is only $189.00. Plus there is install directions on the board as well! Bill is very helpful and a good friend to a lot of people on this site.

If you want Goldline springs, see Bill. Wait, where did I see/hear that before? Anyway, see Bill, he's a good dude looking out for fellow Scion owners.

(And I'm not just saying that cuz he used to live out here in the Bay Area, its cuz he's bigger than me and can really put the hurt on me.)
