so my scion 10 series #263 badge on the side of the door is officially unreadable. It is so badly scratched up and faded. Kind of bummed because that was the only way you can really tell what number it is...I do have a custom center plaque that says it but its just not the same. Anyone else going through this as well? I wish we could order a new badge or something..

New struts too? Cant imagine stockers lasting very long on sportlines.

Was just curious as to what would pair well with sportlines. Cant remember if eibach makes good dampers or not.

Haven't done much research on that yet but I've heard good things about folks upgrading to Bilsteins, not sure what model.

I wonder how they did the numbering scheme? Were there 2,500 badges in a box next to the assembly line where they just reached in and slapped it on?


Anybody notice it's made from glow in the dark plastic?

RCE yellows springs (installed with the factory Sachs shocks), SPC lower control arms to get camber in check (excessive cross camber from factory, over a degree) and alignment. Also had front camber bolts installed too.

Toe set to 0 all around. Max camber in front ~ -1.7 degrees, rear camber set to -1.0. Car drives great. Had a hell of a time finding a decent alignment shop though, one shop kept giving me a crooked steering wheel. My factory alignment was like -0.2 degrees toe all around and i kind of miss the sharper steering response though. oddly enough i never felt the car wander at highway speeds, but no alignment shops wanted to replicate that toe setting.

I'd say with smaller bumps in the road, the RCEs paired with sachs dampers ride better than a stock 2013. Bigger bumps though you can definitely feel the stiffer springs but its not jarring at all, well controlled by the sachs. Figure i'll run these till they puke and replace them with Bilsteins.

Handling wise its a decent upgrade, its still quite easy to get the rear out if anyone's worried about the stiffer front.
