    Rain always sucks. Not too bad. Congrats on your upgrade. What are the specs/brand of wheel? What kinds of shoes did you put on those feet? The picture makes the back wheel seem farther in that the front. Can you post a pic from the rear corner? Were you able to have your TPWS enabled OEM valve stems moved to your new wheels?

    The Rim is 18" x 7.5" Katana KR-12, Tire is Rotalla 225/40r/18 F107. I didn't ask for the TPWS to be installed but the wheels came I slapped them on the car and no warning light came on... Here are some more pics for you

    That looks better. It was just the angle of the picture. Time to get some lowering springs.

    The TPWS will not light once it determines all of the sensors are missing.

    I want to get the springs I just don't know what brand to get. I don't know how hard it is to install them as Toyota quoted me $1100... That is $900 labor? LOL... GTF out of here... If you have any other brands that you can just plug in and not have to do anything crazy let me know....

    I have just started messing with the Scion so I am sure I will get addicted. I have the TRD Axle back, K&N COI and Front Upper strut.... I want more but not at the expense of going broke as my wife would not like that

    The TRD springs would give you a slightly more sporty appearance but not much performance. Hotckis and Eibach make quality springs that do more and are not that expensive. As for labor, there ain't much in getting out of a high labor charge but $900 is way too much. Try a local tuner/race shop and see what they would charge. They might cut you a deal to earn your future business being that Scions are made to be modified. As for a shortcut method of install, there ain't one. Straightforward to do but you need the manual, lift, and proper tools. An experienced buddy could help.

    I am going to have to agree w/ Navy. I also would recommend, Tein, or Progress as well. The stiffer you can keep the car the better it will handle. If you have the knowhow, you could save yourself the added labor cost, but not many people have a garage or the right tools to get the job done right.
