My tC finally got some slammage!

[Vanessa]

Thanks to a few friends, myself, and Curt at C&C, my tC is finally lowered/aligned haha.. it only took 11 months of it being stock height for me to finally have it done.

Setup includes: Hotchkis springs (approximately 2 inch drop), Hotchkis rear camber kit, and SPC front camber kits

(Mine's the white one)

[iheartzombies]

That looks HOT dudette. Love the rim choice too, white on gold is clean!

[ROFL Box]

looks good

[ShortBus]

Awesome. Looks great. I was wondering where you have been hiding for awhile.

[07tCguy]

What K hids do you have. And, what does the red one have? Im guessing 10
K.

Also the drop looks very nice.

[Big-Kokujin]

Hows the ride?

[Space Cadet]

Very Nice!!

[Vanessa]

Awesome. Looks great. I was wondering where you have been hiding for awhile.

Heh, I haven't been hiding! I've been a Houstonian.

I have 6500K. Yeah, the red car has 10000K. Good guess :)


Hows the ride?

Great!

[Krdshrk]

About time! :D

You didn't do the rear sway? 2 minute install while you're down there anyway.

[trinben]

looks good :up:

Nah, sure didn't do the rear sways.. I may get them later on. :up:
Hotchkis :)

$280 from trdsparks.com :)

[aalbertson3]

Looks really good! Can't wait to see pictures after the rims are on. :up:

[Krdshrk]

Go with the TRD rear sway. It's all you need. Hotchkis front sway is a huge pain to install. You have to drop the entire front suspension.

Really? Wow you have to drop the whole front suspension.. That sucks!
Do you have the TRD rear sway bar?

and yeah 10K HIDs

[Krdshrk]

Yeah I have the TRD Rear sway - it's awesome. Couple that with a front strut bar and you're golden.

Yeah I already have the TRD strut brace installed

[Krdshrk]

Then put in the TRD rear sway and you're good! The handling will be 10x better.

Oh yeah - put it on Race setting, not Street.

Thread Jack In Progress watch out

[thekevin]

for rear sways, i prefer progress or hotchkis. They're a little stiffer than TRD.

Myself, I was thinking about getting the Hotchkis front and rear sway set. Now I think I'm just gonna stick to rear sways. The front isn't necessary and is a PITA to install, as stated previously.

[Vanessa]

Do you need an alignment after installing any sway bars? whether it be aftermarket front/rear or just the rear sway bar?

[crackinabox]

looks most excellent!

[thekevin]

As far as I know, an alignment is not needed.

[joshryn09]

Thread Jack In Progress watch out


how is it a thread jack. When ever she said that i was the owner joshryn09????

[satyr1ne]

i got those same springs they are sick. your ride looks clean and good rim chocie!!!

[Krdshrk]

Alignment's not needed after sway install.

Progress isn't any stiffer than TRD.

[satyr1ne]

i was thinking about getting the hotchkis sway bars but i heard those got problems, so what else is good besides those??

[eujin]

Wow your car is really low.. What's it on?

[07tCguy]

Probably coilovers. Im a bit confused on which HIDs to buy. Vanessa Im sure you have good visibility. But, I want 10Ks. Josh how is you visibility like.

Ill probably just goin in the middle of those two Ill just go 8Ks maybe.

My visibility can't be beat. I like the color of my lights. They are a light lavendar. They look just like factory 04/05 TL headlights. :up: Josh never complains to me about visibility so it must be ok.

....:lol:

[Big-Kokujin]

brightness is not equal to visibility

[07tCguy]

Ive never seen 6500K look soo blue. What kinda kit do you have.

[Krdshrk]

It could be the exposure of the picture too. It's hard to tell true colors from pictures sometimes.

[joshryn09]

i was just sayin brighter.

[Krdshrk]

Actually, the higher in color temperature you go (Over 4300K), the dimmer the light.

The brightest HIDs are yellow-white 4300K.

[07tCguy]

Im just gonna go with 8k and call it a day. BTW sorry for turning ur thread into HID discussion n not about what it was made for.

[joshryn09]

6000K is the brightest HID.

[DoubleDiamond]

sweettt ride :kid:

[nrgwar]

tC's are nice lowered i would just be safe when going over masisve lager ass speed bumps. i know that seed bumps crack & break bodykits & also stock set ups... just some FYI ;)

your car dose look nice. if i do lower my tC i will only drop it 1inch or 1 & 1/2 so i can still wrap 19's or 20's on it ;) my rule with the tC i am building is go large or go home sad

[Vanessa]

lawl, this ain't my first rodeo.
