Default Got a buncha stuff in :) want to share

Yesterday my rims came in after a month and half of waiting

I got some 3 pc Iforged Retro's 20x9 on 255/35/20 20x10.5 285/30/20 in Hi Polish Finish.





Had my TPS sensors mounted



Here is a sneak peak


I just put one rim on the rear because my friend wanted to see how it looks on the car, but I took it right off after the picture.

I didnt want to put on the rims without dropping the car first. So first things first I am going to drop my car tonight with the tein springs I've had for a while

I came home from picking these up and found my a box that says daizen at my front door I didnt have time to open it or look through it. I assume it would be a good time to install these also since I am working on the suspension. Does anyone know if it includes instructions in the box? Which setting should i put it at? Any tips on install, I remember rominl had some problems with someone installing them wrong?

And I just got a call now from my friend at lexus and she said my parts for my tail light installs are in and the cost is $400 without the ecu Did I save alot or what!

very nice, you are right that don't put the rims on without lowering

about sways, there are instructions, inside. make sure you pay attention to end links

about taillights, not sure if you saved a lot. read the GB thread from a while back, the ecu alone is like 170 bucks, so subtract that and see

$520 for light kit without ECU if I remember correctly

Also which setting should I use on the sway bars rominl? Any reccomendations


Mike, I think I will get one sooner or later but right now I am spending way too much

with the staggered setup, i think you can put it on hardest setting, you get more grip with your rear tires anyway

Nice pile of parts! Really like your rims, interested in seeing them on your car lowered. I like the multi spoke design.

Just tein springs, no coilovers?

settings are only for the rear (3 holes). there is no settings for the front, you NEED both holes for installation

and they gave you ONE 06 and ONE 02-05 taillights? now that's something funny

Tony,

I'm about to get some 3-piece iForged wheels & saw this thread when I did a search...How's it working out w/the TPS stuff mounted? How did u mount them & did iForged provide all the stuff needed to mount? Thx!
