Well the front was cake. no problems, everything went on smooth. the rear tho..... wow that was horrible. Could not could not could not break that bolt on the bottom of the shock on either side. worked on it for 3.5 hours. nothing. had flood lights on the whole deal. lol.
sprayed the heck out of it with kroyl and left it over night, picked up a breaker bar from my dads work and went at it this morning. boom no issues. rear went together nicely. all went back together fine. and shes done!

Drop looks great. I love the Tcs.... I was looking for one when i got the SS.
How do you like it compared to the SS?
She likes it! She said it needs swaybars next since there's still some slight roll. Hard to compare to the balt since I have aftermarket rear swaybar and harness bar. Does ride smoother tho not as bouncy. But it is brand new lol
Thanks! My girlfriend picked out the whole setup based on pics of people's rides and on how they said it rode / handled and lasted over time
I drove a tC for 6 months prior to buying my SS/SC, honestly, if the car matched the SC performance wise it'd been an easy decision to buy one.
very nice cars IMO. and they look amazing dropped, just as this one does
Thanks guys, and Joe I agree. I was honestly surprised! I expected a cheap economy car but honesty it moves nice, great aftermarket, prices are cheap on parts. Id rock one
WOOOO TC FTW
Thats whats I traded my cavie in for same color and all
I really like those cars. not a HUGE fan of the color, I LOVE them in white or silver. Seen a few around here modded and they are impressive looking.
hey man when are we gonna see some pics of your tc

Modding my j since I found the org
I will get some on tomarrow or fri lol its gone through different phases stages and still not done lol
You done a visual on the factory speakers in hers? They're impressive considering! I always felt had they added a sub those would of had a great factory system. Keep in mind I drove one for 6 months before I bought my Cobalt SS, and I still felt that way!
Car looks good man. Wish my girl cared to mod her car. Lmao
02- I love that she's into Modding! She's talking Turbo kit from dezod this summer! As well as wheels and lip kit
Joe what do u mean by visual? And yes it does sound nice but lacks bass
I think you can actually see the speakers in the rear area and they're not cheap paper cone, they look like legit Pioneer's! Just was very disappointed when I saw my Cobalt's door speakers.
Honestly I was surprised by the scion in general all around. Id buy one.
