Today I finally got an alignment after installing my Koni struts, Eibach springs, and SPC rear lower control arms almost 2 weeks ago. I found out that the left rear toe arm and the bracket on the body it attaches to is bent. So much for "Toyota certified pre-owned"....
They got the front where I wanted (-2° camber and 0° toe), but I had to compromise on the rear. I wanted -1.5° camber and .15° total toe, but I ended up settling for -1.4° camber and . 11° total toe. It's not perfect, but it's very close. Either way, it's better than what I had and the car drives much better now. |

Yes, I absolutely can feel the difference. It's perfect because it's the number I told them I wanted.

Ordered an intake tube, floor mats and an AC delete. And a used wiper assembly.
Ahhhhhh, that felt good!! I've been holding off ordering car parts for months. |

Quite disappointing that Toyota didn't clean my TRD air filter during my visit but rather just gave me a stock filter to install myself. I suppose that was expected considering the extra work they would have to do. Anyway, sources tell me that I should stay away from the TRD cleaning kit and go with the K&N. It cleaned up nicely. Just let the product soak for a 10mins, rinse, and air dry. Sprayed a light coat of oil on one side if you want and you're good to go.

I removed the AC parts just in the engine bay. They weighed in at 15.6lbs. My scales are very accurate. The Tech that recovered the "freon" said it was likely worth 1-1.5lbs. I still have to remove the dash to get the rest and the electrical. It's likely north of 20 lbs in total.
