Thanks for coming down, and being patient, Chris.
I am glad you got back safe.
The ride was extremely comfy in the rear at the proper pressure, I was knocked out in liek 4 minutes...
I am guessing we left the rear higher to compensate for "added weight" in the near future...

Keep me updated on the setup and let me know if you have any problems.

I believe it was actually a well put together kit. The only thing missing was the teflon tape and a few connectors, but I had that laying around anyway...

The trophies are from customers Scion's I've helped build from last year's season, I would like to add few more and some in the Lexus class this year...

The Tc currently has a problem with the Emanage blue and/or harness they sent me. It starts and runs fine with an fic/ and emanage ultimate however... We are waiting on the kit's manufacturer to resolve the issue.

Chris and Rob are headed to Carlisle but is anyone headed to HIN New Hampshire? /thread jack =)

you will definitely get to see it for Carlisle. If you are interested after that, I can get you pretty good pricing (probably better than anywhere you'll find) and I have a good place to install it too.

Jerry definitely takes his time, you should try to catch him when he is down there.

I will definitely give these a hell of a review. right now all I have to say is i am really amazed, if you can live with that answer.

damn, you didn't even give me a chance to help you out!

comfort over bumps, is amazing, then when you fill up the bags just a little, you now have a sporty, somewhat aggressive handling v8!

LOL. I adjust the rear coils on Saturday - moved down the mount by 2.5 inches, and pretty much i can tuck 33% off the wheel and tire.

see above quote. my ride height is pretty much as seen in the pics with it dumped, a little higher in the front. pretty much the same as my ride height with my tein HA's, maybe 1/2 inch higher, and that's only because that's where the sweet spot is.

Originally Posted by muhbuhtuh
good stuff man! you plan on getting any lower? that would mean you would have to cut a hole for the UCA huh?

all you need is a nice new set of wheels and you're golden man
i guess i could cut the hole for the UCA, i am not sure if it is completely necessary because at my ride height, I rarely hit it.

dammit everyone hating on my 18's... I wish my new wheels were here more than anyone.

PS: It looked like he was trying to figure out the wiring on the Relay... LOL
Dude... who's kidding who - you, not having air? cmonnnnnnnnn
Me and Rob can't take all the credit. Vimean played a HUGEEEEEEEEE role in making this thing happen.
