Appreciate it! Had the tails long? Any issues? They look sweet and I haven't seen that style before. I know there have been some issues with some other after market ones.

Best $20 spent!

The armrest that I ordered on eBay arrived yesterday. Looks great, really comfortable and attaches to your cup holder via elastic! Love it!

Dropped her on some TRD Springs (finally). Didn't want anything too low yet, so i'm actually pretty happy with the outcome of these.

Give it some time and it should settle a bit more (after about a week mine went down another half in on the TRD set). Make sure you get her realigned as well!

Another half inch would be nice (yes yes, i know that's what she said). Got the alignment taken care of as well. The shop that did it actually did a nicer alignment than my dealership did recently, it drives much straighter now. Hoping that mine settles a bit lower like yours did!

Some have, some haven't and nobody seems to know why really. Pics don't really even tell the whole story as the front mudguards are only 1 1/2 in off the ground. If it does settle more take it back in to have alignment checked as they had to tweak mine a bit after it reached it's final level. Lots of people on here belittle the TRD springs but I find it is a great height for a DD and doesn't ruin the ride too much. Railroad tracks will now be your mortal enemy though!

Yea I'm pretty surprised by how nice the ride quality still is. I honestly expected it to be pretty bad with how much crap the trd springs get, but I can't complain.

Twiddled my thumbs all day waiting for this full-titanium beastie to get dropped off from FedEx, but she doesn't know about it yet - it's my 1 year anniversary / baby's first birthday gift to her - going on tomorrow after getting opti-coated!






and I have a few more goodies for her that should be arriving within the next few weeks - I figured this is a good excuse to spoil her rotten before I need to cut myself off from spending any money with the holidays approaching, etc.

I put some hand made katakana toyota logo's on today, in place of the modern toyota logo. Also removed the GT86 badge:





Also this has been in the works and I just finished baking the caliper paint, not the sharpest looking finish but I'm lazy when it comes to keeping calipers clean and I wanted a semi-stealth look so black was good for me:







these will be installed friday hopefully
