@hunchback234 i agree. Very stupid to lower a stock tc. i just did it for the looks, man. it looks ridiculous at stock height. traction control? not like im gonna be auto x'ing it. or even taking corners fast...again, i just did it for the looks. no need to hate bro.
@hunchback234 ROFL what the hell are you talking about?? Lowering springs have absolutely nothing to do with traction control, this is not even mentioning that the only year of Scion tC to ever have traction control is the 2011, and the video depicts a 2006 model year. The only thing lowering springs effect is the linkage geometry in the suspension.
I doubt you have a tC, and if you do, you know absolutely nothing about the car you own, which is equally as sad as your post.
@pagelikeinabook like as in an alignment? yes. after 2 weeks, negative camber was noticeable in the rear. took it to get an alignment and they got it as close to spec. got -1.5 for the rear. better than what it was. i think it was like at -2.1 camber.
@CSQUAR3DsBaCk doesnt scrape. it clears...but if you have people in the back seat it will scrape. but the speed bump has to be super tall for it to scrape with people in the back
@Bikerboi I actually was looking at grabbing S techs because of that sort of aggressive stance. But either way, I'm gonna give these springs a go! Some people have said the back ain't low enough, others have said the back looks lower than the front! I want your honest opinions and thoughts. Thanks and very much appreciate your help.
@Bikerboi Without the sub in the rear, would you say the back looks a little lower than the front? By what I'm seeing, I'm pretty sold on buying these springs!
@CSQUAR3DsBaCk They stayed the same. Yea, I would have thought that they would settle more because of the box but they actually didnt. which is pretty damn good for just springs.
@mctapout187 i think any thing bigger than a 2 inch drop would need a camber kit. but no matter what kind of lowering you do, you'll need an alignment cause it'll be off big time. whoever does the alignment will get it the closest to specification.
@bmelgar92 Its a pretty decent drop. i do scratch on some driveways but they have to be really steep. when i know the driveway is steep, i just go up diagonally.
@Bikerboi ohh ok thank you because i have a scion as well..and thinking of dropping it ...and another question ..does it HAVE to be dropped two inches with the megan racing lowering springs or u can drop it one inch or an inch and a half
@bmelgar92 yeah its 2 inches only. They are only the springs so they are not adjustable. You can get the Tein h-techs. those lower the front 1.9 inches and the rear 1.5 inches.
But if you have the money, go with coilovers. I might be getting coilovers pretty soon so i can i adjust them to what ever height i want.
@BUSAFLY123 The only modification i had to do was to cut the front bumpstops in half. other than that, all you need to do is just to take the stock spring off and put the lowering springs in the exact same position.
@mazda6tuner99 yeah. i did springs only. i also heard that it wears the struts out. they are still good after one year...im thinking about getting coilovers soon...thats when i get enough money though.
@Bikerboi I'm with ya man. I have to wait till the end of the year for a company that sells nice coilovers for tiburons. They sell them cheap too! thats why I'm waiting
@mazda6tuner99 what company? there are 2 companies that sell coilover kits for cheap. they are actually too cheap to even trust but what i've read on forums, they actually are recommended if u are on a budget and only use the car for daily driving.
They are called raceland coilovers from racelandus. They say they have a higher spring rate, but everyone who has bought them loves them. There supposed to me around 450ish.
@mazda6tuner99 those are the same ones the people on the forums were talking about. i might get those also. there is another brand that im looking at too. they are called rokkor tuning.
@Bikerboi I checked them out and they seem very similar to the raceland coilovers lol Well hey man, you go a nice car. Good luck my friend, go far and mod it to the best of your abilities,
@driftking11013 lol, i havent gotten them installed yet, -_____-, first ima get my Invidia N1 muffler welded on, then ima buy 4 new struts to put the new springs on them,
@tomuchchocolatemilk its barely a problem. i dont scrape on any speed bumps. its only the really steep driveways that scrape. they have to be really steep though.
when u have a full car though, thats a different story. i went grocery shopping and my back seat was pretty full. when i went over the speed bump in that shopping center, i scraped
@Titan9mm it does wear out the inside of the tires but thats if u dont get an alignment. what i did was wait 2 weeks for the springs to settle THEN get an alignment. firestone did a real good job at getting the alignments close to spec.
if u go lower than i'd say 2.5inches, u would probably need camber kits to fix the camber for it to not wear out the tires.
@MrSkinepimp i got them for $110 brand new from raceinspired . com
they're $119 now.
thanks man. the drop is perfect. i dont scrape everywhere where i go, which is good. but i wanna lower it even more. im gonna get some coilovers when i get the money.
@sambolia2424 i do notice more bumps and can take corners faster. there is no "roll" when turning which is awesome. to me its perfect if you want a close to stock ride quality.
@KBear1278 no not at all. i do have to be careful with big speed bumps when i have people in the back seat. they have to be pretty big for me to scrape though.
@KBear1278 they are definitely worth the money. 18's would be perfect with this drop. i would get 18's but dont have any money cause im going to spend it on the coilovers.
@Bikerboi yea i know what you mean. i like coilovers cause you can adjust them but the rims are everything to me. let me know how how it looks later on. I'd like to see how it turned out. thanks man.
@Crackheadrobot if u want a little drop. yeah. all u need is the springs. the biggest drop with only springs is 2.4inches in the front and 2inches in the back. thats with tien s-tech springs. i have megan racing springs that lower it 2inches all around.
if u want it to go lower, you'll need coilovers which can lower the car a lot. the most i've seen is a 4 inch drop.
@Crackheadrobot the install wasn't that hard. i had some step by step instructions with pictures that really helped a lot. i had some help from my uncle. so have someone that knows a little bit about cars help out. you'll also need some spring compressors to take the spring off of the strut.
@bigsexyman954 yeah. my camber was off. i think it was like -3. i just got an alignment 2 weeks after the install. there is still a little camber, but its not as bad.
very stupid.. no point for a stock tc to be lowered due to traction control.. i have a tc.. and u make me ashamed to have one
