Unfortunately I will have to postpone today's plans. Too wet outside and no garage for me = no install. Maybe New Year's Eve before I get too trashed lol

Santa ordered from the wrong guy!

He got mine from a guy on ScionLife offering LOW prices on any Tanabe's for Any Scion. They came the day after xmas, but I wasn't here to sign for them. So Santa came back.

BTW. He only paid $159 shipped to my door.

Well, on saturday my friend and I were finally able to install my springs. I gotta say, the front suspension was pretty easy but the rear was a MAJOR biotch! The 19mm bolt that holds the strut to everything was a pita to loosen especially the passenger side! But all in all it took us 4 hours which wasn't too bad considering it was pretty cold outside. After a few days of driving I am very pleased with the outcome. I haven't noticed any discomfort when it comes to bumps on the road but the car feels MUCH tighter and more responsive! Here's some before and after pix.

The antenna was only $17 so I figured wth. I would recommend putting some gorilla glue or some sort of adhesive on it to prevent anyone from taking it.
