Awesome!
After reading all the reviews, I decided these were going to be what I really wanted too.

The J2 I have now clunk. These will fix the problem.


After install of the spc parts my suspension:

Swift 1" springs
Newer OEM strut
Perrin Sways
Front whiteline bumpsteer kit
Front whiteline tie rods
2 sets camber bolts
Blackworks LCA
SPC rear toe

i worked on my friends car today:

SCION iA

not frs related but figured i talk about it for a minute because im bored now.

he asked if i could change his brakes for him. i have my car friends group, but then i have my normie friends group and to all them im the "car guy." after looking at the iA, i was surprised to see a drum brake in the rear, thats how economy they are. if you think the frs is economy, you dont know haha. having never taken apart a drum brake, and doing all the springs and such, i didnt want to learn on his car, i didnt feel comfortable/safe with that. so i pad slapped his fronts for him.

They actually aren't bad. Just do one side at a time so you can go look at the other when you can't remember how to put it back together

This morning I found out that when the range counter goes under 1, you get dashes. And that you still have ~1.5gal of gas left, so don't freak out.

Took this chunk of metal out of the engine bay and replaced it with a sexy Verus bracket. Planning to do the passenger side ECU rail in a few days after getting some gold DEI tape for the cyl 1 coilpack.

Took out the passenger side DI injector bracket. Not as heavy as the driver side one but still surprisingly heavy.

Also added some gold ricer bling to the engine bay

Hoping the combination of the slimmer bracket and gold DEI wrap will keep that cylinder 1 coilpack cooler during track days and hard canyon runs.

Happy New Years everyone. My resolution is to stop getting P0351’s lol.

The redecorating continues. This is my first real attempt at doing a car interior. I bought a almost complete interior a couple of years back and am just getting to this project now. My original interior is bagged and tagged. Let's start with something simple.
