Default finally some pics of the sc300

I just installed the tein's yesterday in my garage with only hand tools, it took about 7 or so hours which includes a few trips to the auto parts store. The wheels are Axis Reverbs, 18x7.5 front, 18x9.5 rear.

enjoy

i did it 100% by myself, it was pretty easy , a few snags here and there, but nothing you cant figure out. if you need any help when you do the install, feel free to pm me.

i dont want to be a devils advocate, but theres a how to instrall coilovers on these boards, i found it to be innaccurate and wrong. the reason: it tells you to perform 2 or 3 time consmuing procedures on the car that arent neccasary to remove or install coilovers, hence wasting your time. The how to is a good starting point but you can honestly figure everything out yourself, this was my first coilover install on a sc and i had only obvious problems ( snapped a nut, and snapped a 19mm socket). but this job is doable by yourself, so approach it with confidence.

and for the offest, +40 in the front and +38 in the rear, they are staggered, but theres no difference in lip depths.

and day shots...im working on it
