Here is what I ended up with ... Stops set to avoid fender rub...

That is sweet, what is your suspension set up and how’s the clearance on the 235’s?

The Tein Street Flex are discontinued but as I recall the front springs are 14kg and the rears are 8kg, Nothing weird on the camber, no spacers or fender mods, and no need to relocate the driver side harness as the stops prevent rub on the wheel well, As shared before, the front is "12" with rear "8" turns. BTW, the coil over adjustments should be tighten all the way down and back off from 16 (so 4 clicks back to get to 12).

very soon man. Getting tires today. Then I'll be set. I had a pair of 255/35 in the garage for 2 years. I installed them 2 weeks ago but they are too hard. So it was causing vibration on hwy.

I'll be putting the bride seat back in later today as well.

Changed out door speakers and tweeters. Door speakers Definitely bad. Tweeters were probably fine tbh but what the hey.

Cleaned up some floor mats I found at the junkyard

I changed my valve cover gaskets and had an oil change a while back. I also deleted the lower grill for the 95'-96' models. New serpentine belt too.

Looks extra clean, I’ve got the same set up “12” front & “8” rear and adjusted them the same way. I don’t think I have any rubbing issues in the front but may install stops just in case. Don’t want any issues with the driver side harness. I’m familiar with that rerouting process and want to stay away from that if possible.The wrap on your chrome window trim brings everything together, I may have to take a page from you on that.

I finally got the car running after it sat for a year. I installed a new OEM crank pulley, drive belt, battery, Strongarm hood struts, trunk struts, and got some more Toyota Red coolant. I also washed it too.

I need to get an oil change this week.

Decided to go to cars and coffee on Sunday. Snapped a quick picture while waiting on everyone else.

I installed my HID’s and polished my headlights. I’ll reinstall my custom 2000 taillights later if I can figure out where I put them.
